New business support campaign launched

The government has launched a new business support campaign, designed to help businesses to find the right support as part of our ambition to make the UK the best place in the world to work and grow a business.

As part of the campaign, government support will be advertised across a range of media, from billboards and newspapers to radio and social media. 

From now on, all of the government’s business support schemes will be accessible via the new Business Support site, making it easier for businesses to access the help they need. 

"We want to make the UK the best place in the world to start and grow a business. As part of delivering this ambition we are putting all of government’s business support together in one place to ensure more businesses can unleash their potential," said Business Secretary Alok Sharma.

How is the government helping 

The schemes are divided into four areas, including finance and business planning; leadership and talent; innovation and technology; and exporting. 

Under these areas, businesses are given information about accessing capital, dealing with late payments, mentoring schemes, adoption of new technology and more. 

The website also provides access to a Business Support Helpline and a LiveChat function. 

"We want British exporters to make the most of our status as an independent trading nation, now that we have left the EU. This government will provide the tools and support to ensure these businesses are ready to trade," said International Trade Secretary Liz Truss.
