SMEs just like yours can claim up to £5,000 off software as part of the Government’s Help To Grow: Digital Scheme initiative, Rishi Sunak has announced.
In his recent budget he pledged to help SME businesses become “more innovative, more competitive and more profitable” as he acknowledged that SMEs are the ‘backbone of the UK economy’.
Support is often small, and gradual, but when it is offered it’s important that SMEs take it with both hands.
Technological support will aid your business into growth and prosperity, helping it to work faster, smarter and maximising opportunities both proactively and reactively.
Businesses that adopt a more technical approach to business are far more likely to come out on top, over and above their competitors! Shockingly, just 40% of SMEs are using technology to support their business, and just 20% of SMEs said they were ‘tech savvy’.
Implementing the right technology – whether that is networking solutions, online purchasing capabilities, cloud facilities, online backup and storage or data analysis - will not only help your business recover from the pandemic but support growth into a profitable and prosperous future.
Speaking about the tech support, Federation of Small Businesses (FSB), National Chairman, Mike Cherry, said: "Small businesses are often keen to embrace new technologies but we know one in four lack confidence in their basic digital skills.”
