So whether you are thinking about enterprise and need help with the first steps, or already have an existing business and are looking to grow and expand, there are a lots of practical ways we can help.

Making it Happen
The Croydon Enterprise programme was developed after an extensive consultation with local people and businesses.  It is a partnership between the council, businesses including the CEDC and many local organisations from the public, private and voluntary sectors.

Equalities
The  programme  aims  to  tackle  inequalities  and  is  particularly  targeted  at communities  which  have  experienced  higher  levels  of  economic  and  social exclusion, such as lone parents, people with disabilities and people from BAME communities
