According to the Metropolitan Police, over 450,000 incidents of London-based business crime were reported in 2024. However, with many offences going unreported, the actual total is likely a lot higher. More needs to be done to support London’s business community to become more resilient to crime. LCCI is steadfast in its support of businesses, and in order to address the challenges that crime poses, we formed our Business Crime Group.
The Business Crime Group is here to help you prevent, mitigate, respond to, and report business crime. On the dedicated hub, you’ll find the latest articles and resources to protect your business, as well as our upcoming events and committee news.
The primary objective of the Business Crime Committee is to help London’s business community become more resilient to crime, while ensuring that private and public sector stakeholders take action to tackle business crime across the capital. We regularly run events with industry experts to keep our members up to date with the latest measures to protect their business from attacks. Events include discussions, briefings, and private lunches.
The Met Police have published a draft of the second phase of A New Met for London (NMfL) - their plan for the next three years, and the next step in achieving their mission of More Trust, Less Crime and High Standards.

Whether you work in security, HR, finance, operations, admin, or any other area, your views matter.
City of London Police, the national policing lead for fraud, welcomes the introduction of the newly revised PEEL framework.

The Mayor of London and Greater London Authority have announced that they will be investing £14.5m funding to expand the Violence Reduction Unit's MyEnds community-let prevention programme to tackle violence. Evidence shows that a community-led approach is the most effective to prevent violence, and so the MyEnds programme provides tools and resources for communities to develop their own prevention measures.
We’re keen to hear from members who have concerns regarding, or have been affected by, any aspect of business crime. By sharing your experiences and feedback, you can help shape the Business Crime Committee work programme – if you would like to get in touch, please email us. All emails will be treated with the strictest confidence and will not be shared with any third party without your prior consent.
