About the Property Advice Service:

Small to medium-sized enterprises, micro businesses and solopreneurs have been routinely recognised as one of the key driving forces to the economic prosperity and growth of London in terms of employment and wealth creation.

However, when they want to grow, these businesses often have to deal with unexpected challenges when leasing a commercial office, retail or workspace.

Business owners might struggle to understand legal terminology and financial implications or face prohibitive costs of the professional advice they need. The Property Advice Programme, which is being funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, is designed to bridge this gap by providing a holistic ‘one stop shop’ approach to supporting London-based businesses.

This initiative is delivered by London Business Partnership, Gerald Eve (international property consultants) and the University of Law. It builds on the work and success of London Business Partnership’s previous Property Advice Service Programme, funded by the Mayor of London’s office.

Our support offer:

We will be hosting face-to-face workshops, online webinars, one-to-one advice sessions as well as one-to-many workshops as we want business owners to have the opportunity to get access to the right type of advice, at the right time, to make better-informed decisions and to avoid making costly mistakes now or in the future.
