Consultation on Business Support and Survival

Hounslow Council as a member of the west London alliance is participating in a survey and evaluation of business support and survival for business start-ups across west London to inform future need and funding in this area.

To determine activity in Hounslow we need your support, by participating in the  Questions for New Businesses, a very short survey to complete.

Background

West London is one of 9 areas chosen by the Government to develop a Business Case for the Community Budget.

The benefits of membership and participation are significant. Whole Place Community Budgets are all about:

• Building services around people and communities – the customer and their experience of services is the starting point

• Removing barriers to achieve better outcomes and reduce costs – integrated working across agencies – looking at resources and effort to tackle common aims and objectives – and focussed around people and places – is more effective and efficient

• Involving all sectors – public, business and voluntary, taps into invaluable skills, networks and experiences in transforming / re-designing services for residents and businesses
