Businesses in the UK have a unique opportunity to take advantage of the Government Broadband Scheme. Since it’s launch in 2015, the scheme has so far boosted the broadband speeds of more than 20,000 homes and businesses in some of the hardest to reach areas in the UK. Improving broadband services for people struggling with poor connections is a top priority for the Government as it looks to improve the economy with complete full fibre coverage by 2033! However, with 75% of funding already allocated the expected end date at the current pace is October 2019!
Since the start of the scheme, 2Circles has helped over 100 businesses take advantage of the Scheme. We specialise in helping businesses with this process from start to finish and have so far helped get the £262K worth of funding! The time to act is now – when the pot is empty, it’s over!
