HBV ENTERPRISE:
Starting, funding, and growing businesses in London

HBV is a Hackney-based charity and enterprise agency helping to reduce poverty and unemployment.  We do this by encouraging enterprise in Hackney and certain other London boroughs.

HBV has helped to create and sustain thousands of new local jobs and businesses since 1984.  We are dedicated to encouraging positive attitudes to enterprise within the community. Watch our video here.

Do you have an idea for a new enterprise? Need to talk to someone?  Want to know how to take your existing business to the next level? The charity has a team of dedicated business advisers providing a range of services which include:

Training and information for would-be entrepreneurs

Access to business seminars and training opportunities

One to One business counselling and advice

We also operate Enterprise Loan Funds and can help provide viable small firms to access finance, especially when they can’t get all the funding they need. HBV Enterprise is dedicated to helping local enterprises to start and grow.  How can we help you?
