About Business Services
Powering prosperity with business support
探花直播 (BCU) is driving major change in industry and communities by delivering solution focused business support programmes, projects, and services to organisations, groups, and individuals.
We accelerate opportunities for entrepreneurs to start businesses that create jobs and promote growth, and we collaborate with established businesses and organisations to share and develop new knowledge, skills, facilities, and resources to help achieve societal and commercial impact.
Our location in the heart of the city, region and England, along with our international connections, are fundamental to what we do 鈥� transforming people, places and businesses.

Our Business Services have been developed to offer support to businesses and organisations of all sizes, across all sectors, locally, nationally and internationally.聽We have expanded our Business Services offer to include our SME support previously offered through BCU Advantage, enabling business and organisations to find more business support in one place.
