Accountants are not part of the resale but, as we know, they can offer their clients better deals than under Help to Grow. Disappointingly it has not been extended to APPs.
Help to Grow: Digital has been available to UK businesses with between five and 249 employees. Since 25 July, all products on the scheme have been available to UK businesses with at least one employee who is not an owner.
The definition of ‘owner’ includes an owner-manager, or a trustee or person with significant control over the business. The business must not have more than a total of 249 employees: this remains unchanged. Other eligibility criteria are also unchanged, which are that the SME:
- must be registered in the UK and be registered with either Companies House or be a registered society listed on the Financial Conduct Authority’s Mutuals Register
- have traded for over 12 months
- must be purchasing the approved software for the first time.
