The question

To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, when the New Business Growth Service is going to be launched.

Answered by Gareth Thomas

The new Business Growth service will simplify the government’s business support ecosystem to ensure businesses get the support they need with local delivery at its heart and all underpinned by an improved online service. This will help deliver the government’s forthcoming Small Business Strategy, complementing the Industrial Strategy, Trade Strategy and Make Work Pay plans as part of a comprehensive approach to our Growth Mission.

We expect to launch this service in the summer.
