Are you a supplier of digital software?

Help to Grow: Digital is a new 3-year, UK-wide scheme to help up to 100,000 small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) adopt digital technologies that are proven to increase firm-level productivity.  It will offer free, impartial advice and guidance via an online platform to help SMEs identify their digital needs, and a voucher covering 50% of the costs of new-to-firm digital technology solutions, up to a value of £5000. 

Vendors wishing to provide technology products through Help to Grow: Digital will be required to submit an application form providing details of their business and proposed products.  Full details of the scheme including timings, eligibility criteria and application forms can be found here. Vendors will need to provide an application for each product they wish to submit for inclusion in Help to Grow: Digital. 

Eligible vendors will: 

• Have been registered in the UK with Companies House for at least 12 months.
