On Tuesday 26th August, the Government opened up the Growth Vouchers Programme to more small businesses and is encouraging them to get strategic advice to help them grow. From this date, businesses who wish to apply need to:

• Be registered in England
• Have less than 250 employees
• Be actively selling goods and/or services
• Have a turnover no greater than €50m or £45m
• Own 75% or more of their business

Lord Young, the Prime Minsiers’ advisor on enterprise:

“External, strategic advice is key to commercial success and has helped thousands of businesses to grow. I want to make it easier and more affordable for small businesses to access and the Growth Vouchers programme is doing exactly this. I have received fantastic feedback from small business owners who have taken up this great offer, using the online marketplace to select a strategic advisor to help them shape their business growth and improve performance.”
