The grant is designed to give UK small businesses a helping hand in the face of wider economic challenges, including energy bill increases and inflation.

Alan Thomas, UK CEO at Simply Business, said: “Small businesses are built on big dreams, and we know that finance can play a huge part in starting or growing a successful small business. Small businesses play a vital role in our communities and contribute enormously to our economy, so it only felt right to run the 4th iteration of our Business Boost grant to help make a genuine transformational impact on one small business owner's life.”
