Growth Vouchers programme

Business Comments Off on Growth Vouchers programme

This government programme helps small businesses get expert advice on:

  • finance and cash flow
  • recruiting and developing staff
  • improving leadership and management skills
  • marketing, attracting and keeping customers
  • making the most of digital technology

Some businesses will be randomly chosen to get a voucher for up to £2,000 to help finance specialist business support. You’ll have to match the amount with your own funds. BWMacfarlane are eligible to accept Growth Vouchers as part-payment for strategic advice as we are registered with the ICAEW as an approved adviser.
