It is a two tier, national service, providing signposting, diagnostic support and business improvement advice to pre-starts, start-ups, and existing businesses to help them start and grow.

The service has developed over time to provide both national information, which all businesses require, plus advice and signposting to local growth hubs for additional help so ensuring there is 'no wrong door' to government help.

The service can be accessed by telephone, web chat, e-mail or social media (Twitter, Facebook and You Tube) and is promoted on GOV.UK alongside a number of partner websites and growth hubs.

The Helpline has been voted the 'No1 Business Support Expert to follow on Twitter' and gets 1.5 million Twitter impressions per month.

The Department is commissioning a project to put a monetary value on the services delivered by the Helpline for growth hubs and other partners over and above the core national Helpline service to ascertain the cost of the value add for Government.

Working closely with the Department, the project is to be carried out by suitably experienced and qualified personnel who shall be required to undertake the following task: To establish a monetary value for each of the services delivered by the Helpline for growth hubs and other partners over and above the core national Helpline service to ascertain the cost of the value add for Government.
