We’re Frequently Asked

Speak to an Advisor
What counts as ‘digital technology’?2023-01-30T15:31:27+00:00

Digital technology includes both hardware and software that can help your business improve productivity or efficiency. Common examples include websites, digital marketing, eCommerce, but can extend to artificial intelligence, analytics software, CRM systems, camera drones, or VR headsets.

Why should I attend a Lincoln Be Smarter event?2023-02-16T22:50:54+00:00

Our events and workshops are a great place to learn more about the support available through the Lincoln Be Smarter programme, receive inspiration for new projects and taking your first steps into digitalisation, and network with other Lincoln-based businesses.

How can a small business get started with digitalisation?2023-02-16T22:51:47+00:00

The first step to getting started with digitalisation is to take stock of what processes your business currently has in place. Then look at which of these could benefit from being made more efficient. After that you’ll need to decide what digital solutions would be most suitable for those specific processes within your budget constraints and timeframe requirements.

We’re Asked:

How can digitalisation help my business?2023-02-16T22:40:03+00:00

Digitisation can help a small business in many ways. By using digital tools, such as cloud storage, online bookkeeping and invoicing software, online marketing platforms, and customer relationship management (CRM) systems, small businesses can streamline their processes and increase their efficiency.

What should a small business consider before implementing a new digital system?2023-01-19T14:32:18+00:00

Before implementing any new digital system in their operations, a small business should consider things like its scalability over time, compatibility with existing hardware/software, performance reliability, cost (upfront & ongoing), customer service/support options, integration with other systems, and the ease of use or training needs for staff members who will use the system.

Which businesses are eligible for business support?2023-01-25T22:46:59+00:00

Essentially, most businesses registered in Lincoln can access our support. However, it’s more nuanced than that. Read our eligibility information and get in touch with us if you have any further questions.
