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
ScaleUp Programmes
ScaleUp programmes can make a massive impact on business growth and job creation across all sectors of the economy. The ScaleUp Institute’s (SUI) Annual Review identified that the South East remains the top region for scaleups alongside London.
