*Family Business Week Event* Supporting family business growth: The UK Government offer

Join the Business Growth Service and Family Business UK during Family Business Week 2026, for a dedicated webinar helping family businesses build capability, access government support and grow.

The session will introduce the Business Growth Service (BGS) and how it is bringing together government-backed business support, making it easier for businesses to find the help that is right for them. You’ll also hear from Help to Grow: Management, with a mini masterclass offering practical insights to support effective business management and growth, alongside a presentation from the Department for Work and Pensions (DWP) on the Youth Guarantee programme and its relevance to family businesses.

Together, the sessions will highlight practical opportunities to support family business growth while showcasing the wider help available through the BGS.

Attendees will leave with a clearer understanding of the UK Government support available to help family businesses develop, grow and access new opportunities.
