Business Services & Resource Centres

London and Middlesex County have many organizations that encourage and support new business development that will help enrich our local economy.

Business owners, employees and entrepreneurs can join the London Chamber of Commerce or the Strathroy and District Chamber of Commerce. Both organizations host regular networking events and offer information for new and existing businesses. Members can participate on various committees related to business topics.

The London Economic Development Corporation and Middlesex County Planning and Economic Development work with new and existing companies to maintain a good environment for success. Both provide excellent information about the local economy, advice on business practices and planning, and connections to decision-makers.

The London Small Business Centre provides assistance, information and programs specifically for small businesses. If you are starting a business, they can help with everything from developing a business plan to finding tax information.

Social networking is a very important part of being successful in business. Join your local Chamber, participate in business events and use the services offered by economic development organizations. All are great ways to meet other business professionals and make important contacts that will help move your business forward.
