Help to Grow Schemes

Question

Studies show that improving the performance of UK SMEs to match competitor countries such as Germany, could add up to £100 billion to the economy. Help to Grow aims to close that gap by specifically targeting SMEs who will benefit in a way that impacts growth potential and productivity. There are currently no plans to introduce a Help to Grow scheme for the third sector. Businesses applying to either Help to Grow schemes (management and digital) must:

• Be registered in the UK;
• Have between 5-249 employees;
• Have been operating for at least twelve months​; and
• Not be a charity.
