Help to Grow: Digital could boost the UK economy by £3 billion

The Government’s Help to Grow: Digital scheme is designed to help small businesses access the tools they need so that they can focus on what they do best: growing the economy. As the scheme is currently designed:

OVER 750,000 SMALL BUSINESSES WILL BE LOCKED OUT FROM ACCESSING THE SCHEME IN ITS CURRENT FORM

SMALL BUSINESSES MUST HAVE AT LEAST 5 EMPLOYEES TO BE ELIGIBLE

Widening the range of software available under the scheme would result in an additional £1.9 billion boost to the economy.

Expanding the software available and the employee threshold would boost the economy by £2.95 billion.

With the Government’s Help to Grow: Digital scheme, we are on the verge of finally cracking the UK’s decades-long productivity puzzle. We urgently need your signature to make sure over 750,000 businesses don’t miss out on this opportunity.

The scheme is a welcome and well-intentioned step to boosting productivity and supporting UK companies. But the scheme, in its current form, risks falling short of its full potential.
