New Business Link Services

Business Link
Business Link has today announced that, as of Monday 14 November 2011, it will launch two new services dedicated to helping people start, improve and grow their businesses.

New Business Link Services

Using extensive customer feedback we have launched two new online services: the Start-Up Service and the Growth and Improvement Service.
Together, they aim to provide easy-to-use, tailored, and interactive information to help businesses start up, improve and grow. The Start-Up Service offers guidance through the stages of setting up a business, while the Growth and Improvement Service provides support to help businesses improve, develop and expand.

About Business Link

Business Link is government's online resource for businesses.
It contains essential information, support and services for people in business - whether they work for a large organisation or are on their way to starting up.
Simple to use, up to date and practical, Business Link is the first place to go to find guidance on regulations and to access government services. It also has a number of useful online tools, calculators, and best practice case studies; and provides access to funding options, as well as wider support.

This Toolkit

This toolkit and the resources in it have been written with your members/audience in mind and to make it as easy as possible for you to inform them about the changes happening at Business Link.. We would really appreciate your support in helping us to let them know about the changes to our service.
Business Link hopes that you will find these resources useful for your newsletters, website and other communications channels.
The resources include:
  1. Background information - more detail about the new Business Link services.
  2. Services which may be relevant for you - our new Events and Business Support Finders.
  3. Newsletter/website content - useful information for your members/audience about the new Business Link services, which we hope will be suitable for digital and print newsletters, as well as for relevant pages of your website.
  4. Highlights for your members/audience - Business Link's new services will provide extensive support that is relevant to your members or audiences and here we pick out the top tools for.
  5. Social media content - suggested copy for social media updates on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn pages. All copy has been kept to a maximum of 120 characters, so that it can be pasted directly onto any social media channels your organisation may have.
 
Business Links new services will be underpinned by a Helpline, the Business Link helpline, which will be fully operational from 25th November and will assist those who do not have access to the internet or have difficulties navigating it. The number is 0845 600 9006. (The textphone 020 8742 8620).
