ScaleUp Businesses
We aim to help your business to identify and realise its potential with free business support for growth.
The Department for Business, Energy and Industrial Strategy (BEIS) defines a ScaleUp business as ‘a business with the aspiration and potential, with support, to deliver turnover growth over the next three-year period of at least 50%, and who have at least 5 staff in the current period’.
Growth Hub has a role to play in identifying and targeting ScaleUp businesses that:
- Have the potential to scale up with support
- Are already scaling up
- Have experienced a scale up phase, and are looking to consolidate
- Are entering a new growth period, in the broadest possible context
