London Business Partnership (LBP) delivering free LONDON E-Business Support Programme to empower SMEs

The LONDON E-Business Support Programme is funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund and delivered by Business for London, a long-established consortium of seven business support organisations operating across the city, and LBP.

This Programme received £2,858,421 from the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund to provide this vital support to London’s businesses. LBP is the Business for London consortium partner delivering support to businesses located in the boroughs of Brent, Ealing, Harrow, Hillingdon and Hounslow.

Through a package of free support, including: 121 expert advice; webinars; online tutorials and networking events, the programme will empower 1,103 business owners across London to maximise their use of digital tools and online marketing to: attract more customers and clients; boost turnover and productivity; improve the efficiency of their operations and sustainability.

The impact of the programme across the capital will mean 825 jobs will be safeguarded and 100 new jobs created across the city.

Once registered, businesses receive 121 advice and support from LBP’s dedicated E-Business Advisers, specifically tailored to the needs of their individual business.

The initial meeting consists of a Digital Audit of the business to identify its current use of digital tools and technology, and from this, a bespoke Digital Action Plan with key recommendations will be created for the business. Further 121 support will assist owners in implementing the suggested actions - which will be focused on areas such as: boosting the business’s online presence; enhancing the effectiveness of social media; improving websites and search engine ranking; using e-commerce and online payments; maximising customer service; utilising better cyber security and I.T. back-up systems.

The programme will empower 1,103 business owners across London to maximise their use of digital tools and online marketing to: attract more customers and clients; boost turnover and productivity; improve the efficiency of their operations and sustainability.
