What are British trade incentive funding programmes?

If your small business needs employees in traditional trades that the British government has identified as experiencing a national skills shortage, you can receive a government bonus to hire apprentices. The British government’s apprenticeship programme makes it easier for a small business to help trades people get experience to forward their careers. In addition to hiring someone trained in your industry and having a choice of Registered Training organisations (RTOs) who can provide flexible off-the-job training for your apprentice, the programme offers various financial and funding incentives. You can find out more about small business loans by contacting an agent at 020 3880 8554 or complete our sites contact form.
