GOVERNMENT
SUPPORT AND
COLLABORATION
What support is the Government
offering the middle market?
INFRASTRUCTURE | GOVERNMENT SUPPORT AND COLLABORATION
In the spring 2021 budget the Chancellor, Rishi
Sunak, announced four schemes for SMEs:
• Help to Grow: Digital
• Help to Grow: Management
• Capital Allowances Super Deductions
• Future Fund: Breakthrough
These schemes have been welcome news to
the middle market, with over 50 per cent of our
survey respondents stating that they may, or
will, use each of the schemes. It is clear there is
substantial demand for this type of support in
the middle market.
'The UK's infrastructure is intertwined with
the Governments 'levelling up' agenda and it
is great to see the Government is investing in
skills for SMEs', comments Knowles. 'These are
important skills for any businesses to have in
order to succeed in this market.'
