Small Business Support

Business Support to stay visible, informed and connected.

Small Business Support (SBS) is a service from SDO Associates designed specifically for small businesses seeking to engage with the UK Defence sector.

We recognise that not every organisation is ready for, or requires, a full business development support package. However, maintaining visibility, understanding market activity and being signposted to relevant opportunities remain essential for businesses looking to establish or strengthen their understanding and position within the Defence ecosystem.

SBS provides a cost-effective way to stay connected to the sector while benefiting from SDO’s extensive network, market knowledge and industry insight.

What’s Included?

Visibility across SDO’s Defence B2B and B2G network
Monthly Defence intelligence and market insight reports
Tailored accreditation, supplier registration, framework and sector event guidance
Regular access to SDO expertise and advice through our drop in sessions, on email or phone
Signposting to relevant opportunities identified through our network

Are new to the Defence sector and looking to understand the landscape
