Micro Businesses

Could you run your own Micro Business?

Do you run your own business or do you have a burning business idea that you want to explore? Would your service stick out from the crowd and would it support people to lead an independent life? If so, then we want to hear from you!

Stockport Council is supporting Micro Businesses to provide services to people with a social care need.

What are Micro Businesses?

Micro Businesses are organisations with five or less full time equivalent staff or volunteers. They supply a variety of services to people from homemade food to dance classes, and music lessons to gardening services. But they can also supply more traditional social care type services.

Why Micro Businesses?

Stockport Council wants to build a varied market of services for people who take control of what care they receive. We see Micro Businesses as just one way to help grow that market to offer real choice to people as they choose to control their own budgets.
