Businesses of all shapes and sizes are the lifeblood of our city centre. By boosting footfall by introducing more office space, or providing opportunities for start-up businesses to take advantage of retail space, we’re doing what we can to help traders succeed in the area.

Portsmouth Pop Up
The Portsmouth Pop Up shop scheme enables local entrepreneurs and small businesses to trade in a high street location without the commitment or cost of a longer-term lease. As part of the scheme, businesses can apply to rent the pop-up shop in Cascades, in Portsmouth’s city centre for a minimum of 13 weeks giving them a chance to engage with customers and launch products and services.
The Portsmouth Pop Up shop scheme is a partnership between the council, Cascades and Flude.
City Buildings Enterprise Centre
The new City Buildings Enterprise Centre offers space for 14 new offices and a co-working space in Commercial Road, on the former Job Centre and Playland sites.
Supporting small companies by providing lower rents for office space and the chance to share ideas with like-minded firms forms a major pillar of Portsmouth’s plan to help drive forward the local economy.
