Business Advocacy
We are your voice
We are proud to be the voice of over 1,300 businesses in the south and to represent business interests in government, locally and nationally.
We are here for businesses to share your insights (what keeps you awake at night) so we can advocate for you to minimise barriers, ideally before they arise.
By activating your voice Business South advocates your business issues with decision-makers in local and central government.
Representing you
We give you a seat at the table.
Our strength lies in our regular engagement with the Prime Minister, Ministers, MPs, Government officials and community groups.
We represent the views of the southern business community, advocating to decisionmakers at all levels and ensuring southern interests are heard throughout the policy-making process.
