Help to Grow: Digital: Who Qualifies and What You Get
Small businesses in the UK can access discounts on approved productivity software to help with digital transformation.
Help to Grow: Digital is a scheme designed to help small businesses adopt new technology by providing financial support for software.
Who it's for
This scheme is intended for small businesses that are looking to acquire new software to improve their operations. It is specifically aimed at businesses that want to undergo digital transformation, which is the process of using digital tools and technologies to improve how a business functions and manages its daily tasks.
What you get
You can receive discounts on the cost of approved productivity software. This support is meant to make it more affordable for growing businesses to implement the digital tools they need to stay efficient and competitive in a modern market.
What it costs you
While the scheme provides a discount to reduce your expenses, it is not a total grant. You are still responsible for paying the subscription fees for the software you choose to use. The savings are applied to these ongoing costs.
The catch to know
The discount is not universal across all technology products. It only works for specific, pre-approved software vendors. You must ensure that the specific software you want to use is included in the approved list before you expect to receive any financial benefit.
How to apply
- Visit the official guidance page to check if your business meets the necessary criteria.
- Review the list of pre-approved software vendors to find tools that fit your specific needs.
- Follow the application steps provided on the official government portal to claim your discount.
