Somerset digital marketing start-up secures government funding for expansion

FROME, UK. April 29th, 2024 - Somerset-based digital marketing specialists WebBH have been successful in applying for government-backed funding to expand.

WebBH is a start-up business based in Frome which specialises in providing SEO support for local businesses around Somerset. This includes a local SEO service, on-page and technical SEO as well as link-building.

The company worked with startuploans.co.uk, part of the British Business Bank, to apply for the funding and successfully secured a £14,500 grant which will allow WebBH to push ahead with expansion plans.

WebBH plans to use the funding to not only help small local businesses with their SEO and marketing, but also add a development service to its service offering by recruiting a part-time developer.

Founder of WebBH, Brett Higgins said: “I am thrilled to secure this funding, which will allow us to continue our growth plans and offer our services further afield than the Somerset region.

“The people at Startuploans were excellent during the early stages while I was putting together the business plan, which was then presented to the underwriter. I was not 100% sure we would be accepted as we are a new company, but we had a solid business plan with a robust strategy. I would encourage any startup in need of funding to speak with them.

“With the funding now in place, I am excited to start building our company and continue the good work we are doing as a start-up within the SEO and digital marketing industry.”
