New website unveiled for DBT’s Help to Grow business support offer

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has unveiled a new website to bring together the government’s Help To Grow support schemes in one place.

The centralised website aims to make it simpler for businesses access information and support from government, with a particular focus on helping the country’s 5.4 million small businesses and providing support from start-up and scale-up, through to exporting goods and services worldwide.

The ‘Help to Grow’ website will offer advice, guidance, services and support from the UK Government. It brings together a range of support and help that already exists across Government websites to help business leaders learn new skills, reach more customers and boost business profits.

Business and Trade Minister, Kevin Hollinrake MP 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 Help To Grow website 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 newly created Department of Business and Trade was created earlier this year by Prime Minister Rishi Sunak as part of a reorganisation of the Department of Business, Energy and Industrial Skills and Department of International Trade.
