Help to Grow: Digital is now open

Is your business in the digital or Information Technology industry? The Government’s Help to Grow: Digital is now open for applications!

This initiative is part of two complementary programmes (one digital-based, one management-based) designed to help you learn new skills, reach new customers and boost your profits.

Help to Grow: Digital

This programme offers businesses access to free and impartial advice on how technology can help their business. If your business is eligible, you will also get a discount of up to 50 per cent (£5,000) on the costs of approved software.

The plan is to provide vouchers to purchase the software, so long as they help businesses with the following:

• Building client or customer relationships
• Increasing sales
• Managing online accounts and digital finances
• Selling online

All businesses can benefit from this free online advice. However, businesses that are eligible to obtain the vouchers are as follows:

• They are purchasing the discounted software for the first time
• They employ five to 249 employees
• They have been trading for more than 12 months
• They registered at Companies House

Help to Grow: Management

This initiative is an Executive Development programme accredited by the Small Business Charter and provides individual business mentor support. It is a 12-week practical programme with modules in approaches to digital adoption, financial management and strategies for growth and innovation.

If you are thinking about growing your business with this scheme, please contact us today if you have any queries.
