answer	answer is ministerial correction date of answer 03/12/2018 answer text <p>There is currently no central Government funding to help small and medium-sized businesses achieve Cyber Essentials certification. However, the scheme was designed to be suitable for organisations of all sizes in all sectors; and particularly for small and medium-sized businesses. Any organisation can use the advice for free and implement the scheme themselves. For those that want a certificate, the cost - which is set by the market - starts at around £300.</p> answering member constituency Stourbridge answering member printed Margot James question first answered 03/12/2018 17:09:19 answering member 4115 label Biography information for Margot James
