Are you aware of all the government schemes available to help small businesses fund projects?
And the project funding can include software purchases and training!!!?
The IoD (Institute of Directors) has published a very comprehensive guide to approaching the appropriate organisations which is available for download here.
Alternatively, give Hilltops IT a call on 0844 3577360 or 01782 564252. We have worked with several clients that have received part-funding for their Sage ACT! and QuoteWerks-based software solutions that we have delivered to them. We can offer some practical advice based on our experiences as to how to best present the software project.
