Wellingborough is a prime business location. The Borough's proximity to London, excellent communication links to the rest of the UK and Europe and competitively priced property are just some of the advantages of locating or relocating here. The Borough already has approximately 2,500 businesses within its boundaries - visit our inward investment pages to find out why...

GOV.UK provides advice for businesses and self-employed. If you have any business queries, need to source information or funding or undertake market research, the website can help you. The Department for Business Innovation and Skills has also published a guide to accessing finance for small and medium sized businesses, which is available to download here. Locally, the Council works closely with the Northamptonshire Enterprise Partnership to support local businesses.

The Borough Council of Wellingborough is responsible for collecting Business Rates (also known as Non-Domestic Rates). The Business Rates Section is responsible for their administration.
