Business Crime

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.
