What Prime Minister's Business Advisory Group - GOV.UK does

The Prime Minister's Business Advisory Group is a UK Government advisory body that provides regular, high-level business advice to the Prime Minister, operating within the Prime Minister's Office and headquartered in London. Its core function is to bridge communication between the UK business community and the Prime Minister, supplying expert business input to inform economic policy development and government strategy. The entity has no commercial customers beyond the Prime Minister's Office and disseminates its outputs through official government channels, including the GOV.UK transparency and publications infrastructure.

The associated GOV.UK platform — operated by the Government Digital Service under the Cabinet Office — functions as the official UK Government digital portal, hosting a portfolio of interconnected public services. These include HMRC Online Services for tax matters (Self Assessment, VAT, Corporation Tax, PAYE), the eVisa digital immigration system that has replaced physical immigration documents, multiple work visa application services (Skilled Worker, Health and Care Worker, Graduate, Global Talent), the EU Settlement Scheme, the Frontier Worker Permit, and the Making Tax Digital initiative requiring compatible software for digital tax record-keeping. The platform also lists 63,054 transparency releases from hundreds of UK Government organisations, illustrating the breadth of the underlying ecosystem.

The underlying technology is a GOV.UK digital service delivery layer with an accompanying mobile app; Crown copyright is managed by the Keeper of Public Records at The National Archives in Kew, Richmond. There is no commercial revenue model, no pricing structure, and no traditional go-to-market motion. Content is distributed under the Open Government Licence v3.0, and funding flows through UK Government appropriations rather than commercial sales, making the entity structurally a non-market public-sector advisory function rather than an investable commercial business.

Regional players

• CBI (Confederation of British Industry): UK's principal business membership organization that historically has advised government on business policy. Comparable as a UK-specific business advisory voice to government, though CBI is member-funded rather than a state body.

Broad incumbents

• Cabinet Office: UK Government department supporting the Prime Minister and Cabinet, of which the Business Advisory Group is effectively a sub-function. Most direct parent/host organization for the subject entity.
• HM Treasury: UK Government economic and finance ministry. Comparable to the Business Advisory Group as a central government institution advising the PM and Cabinet on economic and fiscal matters, though Treasury is a permanent department rather than an advisory body.
• Department for Business and Trade: UK Government department responsible for business policy, trade negotiations, and industrial strategy. Comparable as the primary government vehicle for business-related policy that the Business Advisory Group indirectly influences.

Direct peers

• National Economic Council (US): White House body coordinating economic policy across federal agencies. Comparable to the Business Advisory Group as a high-level coordination mechanism between business input and head-of-government decision-making.
• Council of Economic Advisers (US): US Executive Office advisory body that advises the President on economic policy. Closest functional analogue to the UK Prime Minister's Business Advisory Group in terms of remit, structure, and proximity to head-of-government.

Emerging players

• Business Council of Australia: Australian industry association convening CEOs to advise the PM on economic reform. Comparable as an organized business voice feeding into head-of-government policy, though operating as an independent industry body rather than a government entity.
• National Infrastructure Commission: Independent UK executive advisory body providing expert advice to government on infrastructure priorities. Comparable as a specialist UK government advisory body that channels expert input into policy, with similar structural dependence on ministerial uptake.
