Government to launch £520m Help to Grow scheme for SMEs
by Anna Jordan • • 0 Comments
Originally written by Anna Jordan on Small Business
The £520m Help to Grow scheme, set to be announced in tomorrow’s Budget, could help 130,000 small and medium-sized businesses.
According to the Times, the Government scheme will provide access management training, technology advice and discounted software to improve productivity.
This plan will enable access to some of the UK’s top business schools, while encouraging more companies to adopt technology, in the hope of opening up opportunities to small businesses that larger businesses can normally afford.
Business schools are due to offer 50 hours of tuition with one-to-one support from a mentor.
The scheme will have two streams:
Digital
Digital will be an online service offering free advice on how businesses can improve their digital capability as well as allowing them to get 50 per cent off approved software.
Management
Management will provide subsidised management training to ‘enhance the skills of leaders’ in areas like financial management and marketing.
Andy Haldane, chief economist at the Bank of England, has said that poor management practices at companies may contribute to poor productivity.
The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) national chair Mike Cherry said:
“Projects like this really make a difference for small firms who are wanting to change the way they operate, expand their horizons

Can I apply for a second Bounce Back Loan?
Yes, you can “top-up” your existing Bounce Back Loan if you originally borrowed less than the maximum amount available to you.
However, as of November 10 2020, you cannot apply for a second, separate Bounce Back Loan either from your existing lender or another lender.
How many Bounce Back Loans can I have?
A top-up is only available from your existing BBLS lender. A borrower can apply for a top-up that is for the lesser of £50,000 or 25 per cent of the annual turnover you certified in your original successful Bounce Back Loan Scheme application form, minus the value of your original loan.
Bounce Back Loan top ups
Under the Bounce Back Loan Scheme top up, if a borrower certified an annual turnover of £100,000 in their original application and took out a Bounce Back Loan of £20,000 (20 per cent of that certified annual turnover), they can ask to borrow an additional £5,000 (5 per cent of that certified annual turnover), taking their Bounce Back Loan to the maximum 25 per cent of their originally certified annual turnover.
