Access your new Grant for HR Outsourcing with us and let your people drive your business

What is the new Scheme?

The Government has unveiled plans to assist SME’s recover from the Coronavirus pandemic in the form of grants worth £20 million. The funding was announced on Thursday (July 30) by Simon Clarke MP, Minister for Regional Growth and Local Government. Grants will be fully funded by the government from the England European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and distributed through growth hubs.

The Grants will be between £1k and £3k (with the possibility of up to £5k for exceptional circumstances) and are available to SME’s who can demonstrate they have been adversely affected during the pandemic (COVID).

What can it be used for?

There is no obligation from the business and the grants are fully funded by the Government, the grants can be used for specialist business advice in the form of HR, this is an area with so much going on and an investment not to be missed or to perhaps adapt to or adopt new technology to improve performance, the overall aim is to aid recovery.

This announcement builds further on the £10 million package which was announced earlier this month to help to kickstart the tourism industry and support the visitor economy. The Grants are limited so do not delay registering your interest.
