The Gigabit Voucher Scheme is a central government initiative which provides
funding for businesses to subsidise ultrafast
connections to their premises. The scheme is part of the Local
Full Fibre Networks programme which to increase full fibre coverage across the UK. It's run by the Department for
Culture, Media & Sport and has £67m
dedicated to it until March 2021, or whenever the vouchers finish.
How to apply
You must be a small to medium-sized business (fewer than 250 employees) and a turnover not exceeding 50million euros and/or an annual balance sheet total not exceeding 43million euros.
If you are eligible you can register your
interest with a supplier in your area who will request the voucher from DCMS to
make the connection. Once DCMS are happy
that the connection is up and running, the supplier will be paid the voucher
value. Further information is available on the government website here
