Backed by great.gov.uk, The Department for Business and Trade have created this resource to support businesses across the UK. The FAQ style guide will give you access to unparalleled government support around exporting and international growth.
The resource provides links to services support UK companies who want to start exporting or increase the amount of goods and services they sell overseas.
Further support is provided by the Business Support Helpline, which will soon be renamed to the Business Support Service, and the Help to Grow campaign which offers user-friendly yet comprehensive advice to empower and inspire businesses at all stages, from the start-up phase through to scaling up and selling internationally.
