The onesuffolk business pages bring together information from Suffolk County Council and the District and Borough councils of Suffolk. You can find business support pages from our partners together with a wide range of links to local and national business support organisations. We also have information on transporting large or wide loads across the county, contact details for building regulation and planning departments, information on trading standards and pages on noise and smell nuisance. We also have a page on the licensing legislation for pubs and places of entertainment. There are also pages relating to the new requirements for food businesses that come into force on 1st Jan 2006.

Rainbow Saver Anglia Credit Union Ltd (RSACUL) has decided to re-locate its Admin HQ from Peterborough to Lowestoft following a review of operations and commitments. This will enable RSACUL to further develop credit union services in the new regeneration area of Lowestoft/Great Yarmouth. RSACUL achieved the milestone of over £100,000 in savings deposited by members, and record month on month lending, and is coming up to the 1,000 member mark.

RSCAUL's onesuffolk website can be found here.

Ipswich and Suffolk Credit Union Ltd (ISCU ) continues to innovate and grow.  ISCU is the first credit union in England to succeed in offering credit union membership to people in custody, thanks to a new partnership with Highpoint Prison and Foundation Training Company Ltd. Prison earnings can be deposited into ISCU and the transition on release eased with the help of receiving benefits or wages at a time when it can be very difficult to open a bank account. ISCU’s rent deposit loan scheme continues to grow, with over £40,000 now out on loan. Ipswich Borough Council continues to refer ‘at risk’ clients for this help, and other District and Borough Councils are in discussion with ISCU to offer this service too. ISCU's onesuffolk website can be found here.
