AIM to Grow your business

@UK PLC has already created over 240,000 new businesses and the second part of the campaign is to help these businesses to grow in a sustainable manner.

Sustainable Growth

The UK leads the world in carbon footprinting and sustainability research. @UK PLC is currently calculating the carbon footprint of all supplies to the NHS. Very few businesses know that they can find out the carbon footprint of the goods and services that they supply for only £ 4 per item, and that the cost of offsetting is less than 1p per sale. @UK PLC can fully automate this process and this would cut over 50% of our carbon footprint. Suppliers spend significantly more on sending paper invoices, so this is a significant win win and we want to achieve sustainable growth for the UK.

Global Ecommerce Growth

For those companies that are looking to export as part of the campaign we are going to create marketplaces in all the G20 countries to help you sell and promote your products.

Software for Growth

The campaign is supported by the Software Industry association BASDA. BASDA provides the electronic standards for business and its members provide the software to help companies prosper and grow. @UK PLC is a committed BASDA member and creating the new standards BASDA Green and BASDA Utilities XML that will enable sustainable growth

Advice For Growth

@UK PLC is a member of the Federation of Small Business and the Forum of Private business these are great organisations that provide their members with help and advice. e.g. If we have any questions about employment law we ensure that we check with the FSB so that we are covered under the FSB insurance.

Our chairman Ronald Duncan is a fellow of the IoD and suggests 'Any company director should have a good look at the IoD, not just for the help and advice along with Directors insurance but they also have a great network of meeting centres around the country which are a great resource for any business that needs a meeting venue.' Ronald is also a fellow of the RSA which is 'innovative and inclusive and the source of the inspiration for @UK PLC's breakthroughs in sustainable technology'. It is also a great place to meet up with people that are trying to help.

Finance For Growth

The AIM market of the London Stock Exchange is a global success story. There is a whole ecosystem of finance providers that will help fund growing companies through to an AIM float and migration up to the main market and the FTSE 100. Our aim as a campaign is to get some of the participants into the FTSE 100.

£ 5 million of seed corn

To get things started Barclays is providing a £ 50 cash back via @UK PLC to the 100,000 start ups, which will be spent with existing companies. In addition to the cash back all participants in the campaign will be eligible to receive £ 100,000 in funding via a series of competitions to help innovative businesses.
