The Government has announced that all Regional Development Agencies (RDAs), including SEEDA, will close by 31 March 2012.
Responsibility for economic development and regeneration in England is being passed onto successor bodies, including Local Enterprise Partnerships (LEPs) and central Government departments
Our objective is to ensure a professional and cost effective closure by this date. We have pledged to work closely with our partners, contractors and stakeholders to ensure that the past and future economic benefits of key programmes and assets continue to deliver the greatest economic value for the South East and value for money for the taxpayer.

What we do: Helping business
We worked to deliver the support businesses need to grow and take advantage of the coming economic upturn. We facilitated loans and grants, advice and brokerage, skills and employment advice and manage a number of business support opportunities. We did this in partnership with various local authorities and organisations to ensure the most suitable level of support was on offer to help business.
Business Link
SEEDA managed Business Link in the South East as the primary access channel for business support and advice. Trained advisors guided new or established business owners of whatever size along the correct path to improve productivity, access finance or discover new markets.
