The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has unveiled a new
centralised website, targeted at helping the UK’s 5.5 million
businesses.
The new ‘Help to Grow’ site from DBT is aimed at upskilling both
big and small businesses across the country by helping them
to:
· Learn new
skills
· Reach more
customers
· Boost business
profits
Businesses have told us that they need easy to find information
from the Government, which is why this centralised page will make
it simpler for firms to find, access and use the information and
support they need in one central space. This site also brings
together the wealth of expertise that the newly formed department
has to offer.
DBT and the UK Government is committed to growing the economy, as
the Prime Minister outlined in his priorities for 2023, which is
why this new website will be a pivotal tool to help firms reach
their business ambitions, whether that’s learning new digital
skills, learning to export globally and courses in effective
management.
‘Help to Grow,’ which is now live for use, is targeted at helping
firms especially the UK’s 5.4 million small businesses that drive
the economy and is a unique proposition stemming from the
newly-created department, taking businesses from start-ups, to
scaling-up and then exporting their goods and services across the
globe. The website will offer support and guidance every step of
the way, helping to unlock global markets for British businesses.
Business and Trade Minister said:
“When businesses are given the right tools to grow, it boosts
profits, increases well-paid jobs and lifts the whole UK economy.
This Government is committed to supporting small businesses and
the self-employed who are at the heart of our communities.
“So, I am pleased to launch the ‘Help to Grow’ website today,
which will hopefully become a vital tool in helping businesses to
thrive and succeed both in the UK and trading across the
world.”
The centralised site will enable more businesses to reach their
trading ambitions, by boosting exports in our race to £1 trillion
a year, increasing inward investment and removing business trade
barriers.
The ‘Help to Grow’ website will offer advice, guidance, services
and support from the UK Government – bringing together a range of
support and help that already exists across Government
websites.
DBT will be continuously updating and improving ‘Help to Grow’ by
working across Government as well as listening to the business
community and their feedback.
