The government’s UK Trade & Investment (formerly Trade Partners UK) will expend around Ј200,000 this year on measures to help UK SMEs develop their exporting capabilities.
Its advisory services provide advice on which markets are best for specific products or services, guidance on how to make the most appropriate contacts in various countries and help in joining other British companies on trade missions to the UK's major markets.
Last year, by promoting the UK as a prime location for investment, it recorded over 700 investment projects from overseas, generating more than 34,000 new jobs in the UK.
