Growth Vouchers programme
This government programme helps businesses get strategic business advice on:
- finance and cash flow
- recruiting and developing staff
- improving leadership and management skills
- marketing, attracting and keeping customers
- making the most of digital technology
Some businesses will be randomly chosen to get a voucher of up to £2,000.
The voucher can pay for up to half of the cost of the advice. You or the supplier will claim this money back, depending on your agreement.
