Government funds incentives and digital training for small businesses
Jane Dawson

Do you run a small or medium sized business and want to grow to the next level? If so, Help to Grow could be just what you are looking for. To boost your productivity the Government is funding a short digital skills programme. And what’s more, your firm could qualify for new software up to £5000.
The 12-week courses are designed around full-time employment. They provide free, impartial information and advice to help you adopt the right technology for your business and employees.
Whether you want to build customer relationships to increase sales, manage your accounts digitally, or make the most of selling online, digital software can help you do that. Businesses who adopt digital technologies can be up to 18% more productive. Unfortunately, over half of businesses who try to adopt new digital technologies are unsuccessful.
One of the obstacles to digital adoption is the cost of software which may be ill-suited to your needs. But with the support of Help to Grow: Digital, eligible firms can claim half of the cost of new software, up to £5000.
The Help to Grow: Digital courses show you the practical benefits of adopting software, help you choose the right products and use them successfully in a business. By enrolling on the Help to Grow: Digital programme you are on the road to making a success of your company’s digital transformation.
