Department for Business and Trade revamps 'Help to Grow' website

The Department for Business and Trade (DBT) has unveiled a new centralised website for its Help to Grow scheme, targeted at helping the UK’s 5.5 million businesses.

The new site is aimed at upskilling both big and small businesses across the country by helping them to learn new skills, reach more customers and boost business profits.


The department said the revamp follows feedback from businesses, and the 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.

“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,” Business and Trade Minister Kevin Hollinrake said.

“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.”

Help to Grow, which is now live for use, is targeted at helping firms especially the UK’s 5.4 million small businesses. The department said the 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.

The Help to Grow website will also offer advice, guidance, services and support from the UK government – bringing together a range of support and help that already exists across the government websites.
