The creation of new businesses is essential to our economic success.
The Government will boost small business growth and productivity by delivering upon the commitments within Labour’s pre-election nine-point pledge - Plan for Small Business.
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund provides £31million for Cheshire & Warrington, including support to Mid Cheshire businesses. The Department also provides core funding to the local Growth Hub operating across Cheshire & Warrington. Additionally, all businesses can access support through the Business Support Service, the GOV.UK website, Help to Grow and the Government-backed British Business Bank.
