Relocating a business

NSW Trade & Investment can give practical assistance to international and interstate businesses planning to relocate or expand into Sydney and NSW.

For medium-to-large businesses, our investment division offers many forms of support and assistance.

• Business information

  We provide information to businesses to help them prepare feasibility studies and business plans. For example, we can provide information on the size of markets in your industry in NSW, Australia and the surrounding region, and data on business costs.

• Strategy

  We provide advice on strategic issues that are relevant to your business, such as:

  • State, Commonwealth or local government policies
  • trends in markets and technology
  • deregulation of industries.

• Site location

  We can help you find the best site for your business in Sydney and NSW. We are in constant consultation with the Department of Urban Affairs and Planning and government infrastructure providers to keep track of the best potential sites in the Sydney area and around the State.

• Coordination

  We can help you to 'cut through the red tape' by coordinating Commonwealth, State and local government agency services. For example, we can help you lodge a development application with a local council.

• Intermediary support

  We can help you find appropriate telecommunications service providers, training institutions, property agents, and legal, management and financial services firms.

• Other support

  We provide other forms of financial and non-financial support on a case by case basis. Contact one of our advisors to discuss your needs and how we can help.

If you are a NSW business and are aware of a shortage or gap in the value chain in your industry, contact the Department. We actively target overseas investors in key strategic areas who may consider moving to NSW and we continuously gather information to help steer this proactive policy.
