Help to Grow: Digital. Funding and advice to help with business software.

Help to Grow: Digital is a government backed-scheme that helps eligible businesses to buy and integrate software into their organisation.

The scheme was launched earlier this year. It followed research which identified that many business owners felt that cost, and a lack of knowledge, were barriers to them adopting new software and digital ways of working.

Through Help to Grow: Digital, companies are provided with free, impartial advice – helping them to identify their software needs, find the best supplier and then implement the software into their systems.

In addition, businesses can receive a discount of up to 50% or £5,000 (excluding VAT) when buying from a scheme-approved supplier, one of the following types of software:

  • Customer Relationship Management (CRM)
  • Digital Accounting
  • eCommerce

To be eligible for the Help to Grow: Digital scheme, a business must

  • Be registered in the UK
  • Have fewer than 250 employees
  • Have been trading for over 12 months
  • Be purchasing the approved software for the first time.
