Business Academy

The Business Academy offers free, expert-led training to help UK businesses start, grow, and export successfully. Its mission is to empower businesses with knowledge and skills to thrive, at home or overseas.

The Business Academy, the new name for the evolved and expanded UK Export Academy, has unveiled its enhanced training offer designed to help UK businesses grow with confidence. This free resource is now a core part of the support available on Business.gov.uk, providing practical guidance for businesses at any stage.

Building on the success of its predecessor, the Business Academy introduces a bigger and better offer, informed by customer feedback. The programme now covers four key themes:
• Starting a Business
• Running and Growing a Business
• Selling Overseas
• Digital Skills

Through free online webinars, the Business Academy helps businesses understand the benefits and challenges of operating in the UK, while continuing to support companies on their exporting journeys. Sessions are delivered by subject experts, free to attend, and easy to access online. The catch-up service also provides attendees with the ability to re-watch for up to four weeks after live session.

This service is delivered as part of the Business Growth Service, making it simpler for businesses to access all the support they need in a single place.

Businesses can find out more, view the full calendar of events and sign up to attend sessions on business.gov.uk/business-academy
