Local London-made E-business programme goes London-wide

The successful Local London E-business programme that helped around 3,000 micro, small and medium-sized businesses in our nine boroughs to become more digitally-savvy and resilient has now been extended across London.

Born in Greenwich, we supported the programme to grow across our sub-region. Now, with UKSPF funding, two of the delivery partners in the successful Local London E-business programme are using their expertise to help even more businesses.

Enterprise Enfield and South East Enterprise are part of a consortium of seven business support organisations making the free business-saving programme available across the whole of London.

Launched in October 2024, the new LONDON E-Business Support Programme will continue to provide free expert advice to SMEs to help them make better use of online marketing and digital tools and technology to reduce costs and increase business growth.

Helping local artisan craft content as beautiful as her jewels

Eunice, founder of Woolwich-based Meitam, which creates rare one-off handcrafted jewellery and art pieces has attended social media workshops with South East Enterprise as well as training in SEO, content creation, video production, and digital marketing.

Totally essential for any small business

E-business support from South East Enterprise has helped Eunice develop a strong online presence and a more robust business. Armed with a better understanding of digital tools and their use, Eunice is driving her business forward.

She said “If it wasn’t for South East Enterprise I would not have any social media presence at all. I have learnt so much from their courses and my one-to-one sessions. The E-Business Programme is invaluable and totally essential for any small business.”
