£2,000 grant for digital advice

Our Websites and digital marketing strategy are more important than ever before so it’s good news that the UK IT Association (UKITA) has recently joined the Government’s Growth Voucher programme.

The Growth Voucher (GV) programme is a £30 million project which was announced by the Chancellor in the 2013 Budget and championed by the PM’s Enterprise Adviser, Lord Young. The programme delivers subsidies to help businesses access the advice they need to help them grow.

Businesses can apply for up to £2,000 to help finance specialist businesses support. You’ll have to match the amount with your own funds.

Businesses are eligible for the programme if they have:

• been trading for at least one year
• 49 employees or fewer
• Not had advice in the last three years.

The support available from UKITA members applies to the following types of IT and digital advice:

• improving customer online experience
• planning digital projects
• automating business activities
• selling online
• analysing technology usage
• your online visibility
