Up to £12,500 of funding available to develop your digital capabilities
The Digital Enterprise business support programme is aimed at small to medium sized businesses (SMEs) that are based in the Leeds City Region, and are wanting to grow and develop through an investment in digital technology or by improving their digital skills. The programme offers three strands of support for eligible businesses and businesses can access more than one strand of assistance:

Digital Growth Voucher
Worth between £2,000 and £12,500 for eligible businesses. The voucher can be used to help cover the cost of investing in digital technology solutions - such as purchasing new hardware and software, developing websites and apps, introducing new internet telephony, etc - to enhance business performance and achieve growth. Digital Enterprise will contribute a specified percentage contribution (typically 50%) towards the total cost of a project. The rest must be contributed by the beneficiary (business). Businesses should be operating predominantly in a business to business (B2B) environment, have at least two employees (and no more than 250 employees) and have been trading for at least 12 months.

Connectivity+ Voucher
Worth between £500 and £3,000 for eligible businesses. This voucher is aimed at businesses that are looking to upgrade their digital connection/broadband and acquiring related technology – such as firewalls, routers, cabling and wi-fi hubs. Businesses operating in either a business to business (B2B) or business to consumer (B2C) environment are eligible. Businesses will only be required to provide match funding for the balance of their investment if the project cost is above the value of the voucher. Firms should have between 1- 250 employees (full time equivalents). Firms of any age (including start-ups) can apply. For more information visit www.digitalenterprise.co.uk/connectivity
