The Department for International Trade has launched a new grant scheme designed to support UK firms to expand internationally.
Called the Internationalisation Fund, grants of between £1,000 and £9,000 will be made available to eligible firms covering a wide range of international business activities, from export consultancy to digital marketing.
Businesses will need to cover between 40-50% of the costs themselves with the grant covering the rest and can be applied to activities including:
- Market research
- IP advice
- Translation services
- International social media/SEO
- Trade fairs (where no TAP funding is available)
- Independent market visits
- Consultancy and other international commercial services
The eligibility criteria are:
- The company must be based in England
- The company must be a small or medium-sized enterprise (SME) with up to 250 employees
- No more than 25% of the business is owned by an enterprise that is not an SME
- Annual turnover does not exceed €50 million or annual balance sheet does not exceed €43 million
