The Small Firms Division was transferred out to the Department of Employment between 1985 and 1992. In 1992 the Small Firms Division returned to the Department of Trade and Industry and this move coincided with the President of the Board of Trade announcing the introduction of a comprehensive business advisory service which the Small Firms team would lead on. In 1994 the Small Firms Division merged with the Enterprise Initiative Division to become the Small Firms and Business Link Division (SFBL). In 1997 the Small Firms and Business Link Division became known as the Business Link Directorate.
