Small Businesses: West Dorset
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps his Department is taking to support small rural businesses in West Dorset constituency to access export markets.
Answered by Gareth Thomas
DBT is supporting companies like Baboo Gelato, based just outside Dorchester, to take their first steps into exporting.
UK businesses, including those in West Dorset constituency, can access DBT’s wealth of export support via Great.gov.uk. This comprises a online support offer and our wider network of support, including Export Champions, the Export Academy, our International Markets network, and UK Export Finance. Alongside this, our International Trade Advisers use their extensive experience of exporting and knowledge of the needs of SMEs in their sectors and regions to provide one-to-one tailored support to businesses.
