FUNDING is now available for Bradford businesses held back by slow broadband speeds.

The Government-backed Digital Enterprise programme was set up in 2017 as a one-off £1,000 contribution towards improving connection speeds for companies in the Leeds City Region.

Connectivity Vouchers have now been extended to cover the costs of smaller projects, making them more widely available to businesses.

The funding can be used to cover most of the costs involved in securing a faster broadband connection and companies can apply if their current broadband speed is less than 30 mbps, or if they plan to double the speed of a connection that is already 30 mbps or faster.
