Business Support

Through our close links with Merton Council, the SWBA is able to provide help to its members wishing to access local and centrally funded schemes for the business community. This can help with the smooth running and development of your business.

As a business owner, there are many responsibilities that fall to you and it's useful to be able to call on other professionals and support systems available.

The SWBA strives to support each of the businesses located on the estate and to provide on-going assistance in a number of areas.
