Business Lincolnshire partners with UK Government to boost business support

Business Lincolnshire is proud to announce its partnership with the UK Government's Department for Business and Trade (DBT) Business Growth Service, a new service designed to make it easier for businesses across the UK, including Greater Lincolnshire, to find and access the support they need to start, grow and succeed.

The Business Growth Service helps businesses to access fully funded, expert and impartial advice, including vital local support through Growth Hubs across England.

Addressing feedback from businesses, the new service will make it easier to navigate support by more closely connecting Government support with the vital services delivered through local partners.

Councillor Liam Kelly, Executive Councillor for Growth at Lincolnshire County Council, commented:

“The Business Lincolnshire Growth Hub helps support hundreds of local businesses across the county, from small independent stores to multinational companies, by providing the advice, guidance, and access to the networks they need to grow and thrive.

“Our new partnership with the Business Growth Service will serve to enhance this support by providing seamless access to both local and national resources. This collaboration will ensure businesses throughout Greater Lincolnshire can easily find the right assistance at the right time.”

Business Lincolnshire will continue to provide personalised, one-to-one support to businesses in Greater Lincolnshire, while now being able to connect them with wider Government resources through the integrated Business Growth Service.

Lincoln-based digital agency Jolly Good Web, founded by RAF veteran Andy Vaughan, is one of the many businesses that has benefitted from Business Lincolnshire’s support. With guidance from local advisers and the Create Growth Programme, the business evolved from a solo venture into a thriving agency with five employees, a permanent office, and a growing client list including the Royal Signals Charity and the University of Lincoln.

“The connections, advice, and guidance we’ve had through Business Lincolnshire have been invaluable,” said Andy Vaughan, Founder of Jolly Good Web. “From financial planning to networking and growth strategies, the support has helped us build a stronger, more resilient business.” You can read more about Jolly Good Web’s journey and how Business Lincolnshire supported their growth here.
