In an internationally competitive, global environment - business support matters.
The right advice, loan or grant at the right time can help a company deal with tough problems, setting them on a course to succeed.
Solution for Business is a package of publicly-funded support products offering help or companies to start, grow and succeed. It includes the Real Help for business
support schemes such as the Enterprise Finance Guarantee.
Businesses complained that government schemes were too complicated and hard to access. So, we’ve made it easier for businesses to get the advice and assistance they need. We’ve streamlined the thousands of publicly-funded schemes that businesses found so confusing into a package of easily recognisable products that can be accessed via Business Link.
Products will help companies with common business and sector issues such as accessing finance, research and development, knowledge sharing, training and skills, exporting and overseas trade and resource efficiency, including low carbon.
The portfolio is a mix of nationally and regionally / locally funded products, including support from Europe. By March 2010 Solutions for Business products will be the only ones companies will see.

The government have produced a guide giving a summary of the Solutions for Business products, letting you know how each can work for you. To download the guide click here.
