Large or small, every architectural business needs help now and again, and here we present a few places to get a leg-up. For advice on health and safety, IT and e-commerce, employment, taxation, finance and marketing, the Business Link is a great resource. On www.businesslink.gov.uk, you can search for information on various programmes and projects that can help your business. The Job Introduction Scheme provides a contributory grant towards the costs of employing a disabled person during the first six weeks of that employment (fall or part-time). The maximum amount is L75 a week. However, the work trial must last for at least six months after the grant period ends. Although nationwide, this scheme is administered on a local level by the Disability Employment Advisors. Contact www.jobcentreplus.gov.uk/cms.asp?Page=/Home/AboutUs/ OurOffices to find the advisor for your area.
