The scheme provides vouchers to support the capital costs of getting new gigabit capable connections for businesses, or up to £1,500 to residents, to help with the costs of connecting to full fibre broadband.
You can use these grants towards the cost of extending Openreach’s full fibre network (FTTP) to your address – that means you will be able to order the highest speed connections from the broadest range of suppliers.
You can combine vouchers toward the cost of an FTTP solution delivered to communities with multiple SMEs, for example, business parks, or with a number of small businesses (and residences).
Our FTTP network uses the latest technology and is already the UK's largest, so join us to get maximum choice and value for your business. Hundreds of businesses have already benefited from faster connections brought to them through partnering with us. They know that a faster internet connection means you can do more and sell more.

If you represent a community or are interested in bringing ultrafast fibre all the way to your home or business please enter your post code or landline to start the journey.
Simply register your interest in Ultrafast Full Fibre broadband by entering your details in our checker below, and we'll keep you up to date on build progress in your area, and let you know as and when we resume registrations in your fibre community partnership programme.
Payments of vouchers for each SME - and resident - under the scheme will be made by DSIT directly to us, as a registered supplier, once they have confirmed that new connections have been delivered. So for an FTTP solution with Openreach, that’s at the point the new infrastructure’s live and ready to take orders.
We'll take care of all that for you.
The table below shows example funding scenarios for a full fibre network for communities who partner with us.
