Specialist business support

When problems arise

As a result of the pandemic, rising fuel costs and other global uncertainties, businesses can find themselves facing problems. Acting quickly can save a lot of heartache later.

If you feel your business is getting into financial difficulties, contact the Stoke and Staffordshire business helpline as soon as possible to be put in contact with organisations that may be able to help you. 

If you are struggling to pay rent, talk to your landlord as soon as you realise this is an issue - they may be willing to offer more favourable terms. For issues with business rates, see our business rates pages. 

In the worst case, if you are considering insolvency, look at the advice from the Insolvency Service.
