Cleaner Heat Cashback: NEW £10m Boiler Scrappage Scheme for SMEs

Have you heard about the Mayor of London’s new £10m boiler scrappage scheme?

If you’re a small business in London and have an older, inefficient heating system you may be eligible for 30 to 40 per cent cashback when you replace it with a new, cleaner system.

Cleaner Heat Cashback is Mayor Sadiq Khan’s £10 million scheme to help London’s Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs) save money on their energy bills and improve the capital’s air quality.  We want to make sure that all our BID and town centre businesses know about the scheme as it will help save you money.

It’s first-come, first-served, so get your application in early to avoid disappointment.

Meet the Buyer for SMEs – The London Growth Hub

Are you a small business based in London and keen to sell to big brand retailers or the public sector?

The London Growth Hub, in partnership with small business support network Enterprise Nation, is delivering its new business support programme, Meet the Buyer. The purpose of the programme is to help small companies access buyers from street markets, through to major multinationals, with a view to test trading and securing new sales deals. These free events are due to kick off in October and will include support on how to pitch effectively and manage an on-going contract. They will be sector-specific with events for food & drink producers, fashion, beauty, digital, and clean tech entrepreneurs.

The full programme is expected to include buyers from major high street retailers plus procurement officers from Government departments. Evidence suggests accessing pitching sessions like these can be transformational for smaller firms, not only increasing the bottom line, but also awareness of products or services. We would be grateful if you could share this with your SMEs in your network who are ready to sell their products or services and would be interested in this programme.
