The support is delivered at two stages within the Growth Vouchers programme.<\/p>

<\/p>

The first is an assessment, either face to face or online, that helps businesses identify their support needs and decide what advice they need to help them grow. The face to face assessment is delivered by advisers on behalf of the delivery partners Cavendish Consortium, Winning Pitch, and West Midlands Chamber of Commerce.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Since the Growth Vouchers programme began 15 months ago, there have been 31,513 applications of which 20,661 businesses have received the first stage assessment. After this assessment is completed, businesses are randomly selected to receive a voucher.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

The second stage of support is in the form of vouchers to help pay for external advice from suppliers in the private sector. Of the 20,661 who undertook the initial business assessment, 15,600 received a voucher. This means that over £31 million worth of Growth Vouchers have been distributed, giving small businesses the opportunity to purchase advice at a subsidised rate. Those businesses that did not receive a voucher make up the control group of businesses that we will use to assess the impact of the advice being delivered as part of the research we are conducting.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

Businesses with a voucher can then go on to select a supplier from the 3,424 Growth Voucher accredited suppliers listed on Enterprise Nation\u2019s online marketplace (https://marketplace.enterprisenation.com/<\/a>). 844 small business advice suppliers have delivered advice to 2,152 small businesses.<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

<\/p>

There are 8,103 businesses that have a valid voucher, who will have until the expiry date on the voucher to redeem the subsidy.<\/p>
