  • From this week small firms, academia and local authorities can now apply for a share of the next £2 million wave of funding to help them become more profitable. 

Why this matters:

Small businesses are the backbone of our economy and as part of our modern Industrial Strategy, we are supporting them with new investments to boost their productivity and ensure they can continue to thrive in the future.
