Let your vision lead the way.

The New Forest Enterprise Centre is at the heart of our local small business community. Our vision is to help start-ups and SME's in the New Forest who have the ambition to grow by providing inspiring spaces and a strong community where long-lasting friendships and business partnerships are formed.

We are a non-profit business so we invest the money back into the Centre to ensure we are continually evolving and enhancing our Licensee's experience.
