Business Information Point (BIP) has been supporting small businesses and farmers across Devon and the wider South West since 1993.

With over 30 years’ experience, we’re proud to be a trusted source of expert, practical business support. Whether you’re looking to start or grow your business, or you’re a farmer seeking guidance on maximising your farm’s potential, our mission is to make high-quality, accessible advice available to those who need it most — helping local people and enterprises build sustainable, resilient futures.

Our experienced team of local business and agricultural advisors understand the unique opportunities and challenges of working in the South West. This regional insight means we can offer tailored, relevant guidance that reflects the realities of the local economy.

Working with Government departments, national agencies, local authorities and corporate partners, we secure funding to bring free guidance and support to our business and agricultural clients. Typically, our funded support programmes include: 
- One-to-one sessions with experienced business or agricultural advisors
- Ongoing phone and email support
- Expert-led workshops on strategy & planning, finance, marketing, digital skills, sustainability, HR and more.
- Support with loan and grant applications.

From helping new businesses get off the ground to supporting rural communities and farm diversification, BIP is here to help you thrive.
