PARLIAMENTARY WRITTEN QUESTION
Help to Grow Schemes (29 June 2023)
Question Asked
Asked by:
Lucy Powell (Labour)
Answer
The Department considered alternative options to deliver the Help to Grow: Digital scheme before announcing its closure however we could not justify its continued cost to the taxpayer due to the lower than expected take up. The decision to close the scheme enabled the Government to refocus efforts towards other support mechanisms for small businesses, ensuring businesses get the backing they need in the most efficient and productive way possible. The Help to Grow: Management scheme remains in place and includes a module to assist in understanding digital adoption.
