Business schools in Nottingham launch government-backed growth voucher initiative for small businesses

Nottingham Business School and Nottingham University Business School have teamed up with the Government's Growth Voucher programme to help businesses access and pay for the advice they need to grow. The programme has been launched by the Small Business Charter, the awards scheme aimed at driving local economic growth through business school support for entrepreneurs and small businesses. The initiative provides match funding to small businesses to pay for and access high quality leadership and management advice from a national consortium of top business schools. Thousands of businesses have already benefited from strategic support via business schools holding the Small Business Charter and through Government Growth Vouchers. This new roll out of Growth Vouchers, by six leading business schools who hold the Small Business Charter, will allow more entrepreneurs to access world class support to expand their businesses. The Small Business Charter was launched at an event at No10 in June. Both of Nottingham's Business Schools are trailblazing members of the Small Business Charter Award scheme.
