Solutions for Business: Simplified Business Support
Solutions for Business: Simplified Business Support is an important part of the government's drive to make the UK a good place to start and grow a business. It is streamlining the grants, subsidies and advice that government offers to make it easier for businesses to access help and support. About the Solutions for Business products 30 opening products became available to businesses under the Solutions for Business banner between October 2008 and March 2009. By 2010 all government products will either have migrated to the portfolio or closed. Products can help with accessing finance, innovation, research and development, training and skills, exporting and overseas trade and resource efficiency, including low carbon and will be provided by a range of respected public sector providers such as government departments and their agencies, Regional Development Agencies and Local Authorities. For a full product list see: Solutions for business: funded by government (712KB) Private and third sector provision will not be affected by the changes and will still be brokered to customers by Business Link alongside Solutions for Business products. Opportunities to amend the range of Solutions for Business products will exist if new business needs are identified or economic circumstances change. For example, Enterprise Finance Guarantee, which helps guarantee bank loans to businesses, became a Solutions for Business product in January 2009. How were the products decided? The Government looked at areas where it believed there is a strong case for providing support using the following criteria: Where can I find out more about the products? Companies seeking support should go to Business Link where advisors can assess their business needs and refer them to appropriate support products. Its services are free and available to all businesses by phone (0845 600 9006 ), on the web, or face-to-face. An overview of the Solutions for Business products are outlined in Solutions for business: supporting success (2745KB) A more in-depth look at the economic rationale behind products is contained in The economic drivers of Government-funded business support: supporting analysis for 'Solutions for business: supporting success' (340KB) |
