The grant will give up to 50% of the cost of training for employees, up to a limit of £750 for each employee on a course.

An IT improvements grant is also available, to qualify a business must:

Currently complete customs declarations for importers and exporters,

  1. Have less than 250 employees,
  2. Have an annual turnover of £50m or less.
