Swansea has a mixed industrial base built on metals, manufacturing and distribution. Steel and metal processing firms are close by in the Neath and Port Talbot direction, with fabrication, engineering and plant hire companies spread through the city. The largest commercial district is Swansea Enterprise Park, which covers Llansamlet and parts of Morriston and mixes factories, warehouses and trade counters. Swansea West Business Park at Fforestfach is the other main estate. The Fabian Way corridor and the SA1 waterfront hold newer units near the docks.
The M4 runs along the north of the city. Junctions 44 and 45 serve the Enterprise Park and junction 47 serves Fforestfach and Gorseinon. The A483 and A4067 carry traffic into the centre. Swansea railway station is on the South Wales Main Line. Most estates have wide access roads and are used to articulated traffic.

Guides and questions
- How a commercial asset auction works
A stage by stage account of an online timed auction for business assets. It covers the asset schedule, cataloguing, viewing days, how bidding closes, buyer's premium and VAT, collection and how you get paid.
- Closing a business: a timeline for selling the assets
Work backwards from the day you hand the site over. This guide covers lease end and dilapidations, when to instruct, when staff should leave, when to keep the power on, and how to leave enough room for collection and making good.
- Selling a commercial vehicle fleet
Fleet sales fail on paperwork more than on price. This guide covers the V5C, MOT and plating documents, clearing finance before the HPI check, keys and livery, recording mileage and tachograph data, and how to defleet in batches while still trading.
