Business: Government Assistance
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what steps are being taken to simplify access to the Business Support programme.
Answered by Blair McDougall
There is fantastic support available to businesses across the UK, but we know many SMEs find it difficult to navigate the system. That is why we launched the Business Growth Service as part of the Small Business Plan, making it easier and quicker for businesses to get the help, support and advice they need to start, grow and succeed. It will be the nationally recognised brand for business support, with a single online access point at business.gov.uk, delivered in partnership with public bodies, devolved governments and the private sector.
