FAQs About Business Support

How much am I entitled to?
This really depends on the type of business you operate, the number of people you employ and the areas you need help. Our Business Support Consultants are all experienced and can quickly assess your full entitlement once your eligibility has been confirmed.

Does my profitability make a difference?
No - 2008 changed the economic landscape so quickly, what went before doesn't necessarily have a bearing on what you will do as a business in 2009.

The support programme isn't judgmental, it's there to help your business weather the storm ahead and prepare for the future.

Will I have to repay anything?
No - Any investment is focused on the long term benefit if the Government can help more businesses survive and thrive.

What about if we are down sizing?
The Business Support programme is to help you through this difficult period and there is funding available to support you and your people through redundancies.

What will I have to do?
Nothing - the business support and benefits to your business will be explained, the whole delivery will be managed by one of our experienced Business Support Consultants - you simply receive the help you need where you need it.

Where is the funding coming from?
There are multiple funding opportunities but in the past the red tape has put businesses off applying for it. You will be informed about the different funding streams but it really does not effect how you operate. All the red tape will be taken care of by our Business Support Consultants and you will be left to focus on improving your business.
