Increased support for small business exporters

UK Trade & Investment (UKTI) has announced changes to its Tradeshow Access Programme (TAP) to help small businesses take part in more overseas trade fairs. TAP provides financial support for small and medium-sized firms through grants of £1,000, £1,400 and £1,800, and businesses can currently apply for a maximum of three grants. The new rules double this to six, providing that successful applicants take part in trade shows in more than one market. The changes take effect from 1 April 2009.
