BDSBC began operations in 2006 and is a division of East London Small Business Centre (ELSBC – http://www.goeast.org). ELSBC has been operating in east London for more than 25 years and has offered services in Barking & Dagenham for much of that time. 

Our team of professionals is growing to support the increasing business activity in the borough, although the core team has been based in Barking for a long time. We provide a wealth of knowledge to all entrepreneurs seeking support for their businesses.

Barking & Dagenham Small Business Centre is funded through the Local Enterprise Growth Initiative (LEGI). LEGI aims to release the economic and productivity potential of the most deprived areas across the country through enterprise and investment thereby boosting local incomes and employment opportunities.

Most of our services are fully sponsored by LEGI.
