Small Businesses: Stone
The question
To ask the Secretary of State for Business and Trade, what support is available to small British manufacturers of natural stone products to help increase their role in the sustainable construction sector.
Answered by Chris McDonald
The Government is committed to the growth of a sustainable construction sector and to creating the right environment for small and medium sized businesses to thrive. Small British manufacturers of natural stone products can access support through the Business Growth Service, which offers online advice on issues such as decarbonisation and energy efficiency and services: for example, through connecting businesses to British Business Bank schemes such as a Business Finance Hub helping SMEs identify suitable finance options; and other support including access to the Department's International Trade Advisers.
