Thank you for joining our latest BICS webinar

We hope you found the session useful and now have a clearer understanding of what BICS could mean for your business, who could be eligible and what you can do now to prepare for the application window opening on 1st October.

You can download a copy of the presentation below to revisit the key topics discussed, including BICS eligibility, what the scheme could mean for your business and what to expect from the application process.

The session also covered the practical steps manufacturers can take now to prepare, alongside an introduction to our BICS Eligibility Checker and BICS Application Management System.

With applications opening on 1st October, bringing the right information and supporting evidence together early can help you identify any gaps and make sure you’re ready to move forward with your application.

Our BICS Management Process System

There are a lot of moving parts to a BICS application. Our job is to make sure they all happen at the right time, in the right order and with the right evidence behind them.

That’s why we’ve developed our BICS Management Process System, a structured approach that takes manufacturers from initial eligibility assessment through to submission and ongoing support.

We manage the process from start to finish, giving you clear visibility of where your application stands while taking the day-to-day workload away from your team.

Need further guidance?

Every manufacturing business is different, and understanding whether BICS applies to your organisation isn't always straightforward.

If you'd like to discuss your circumstances or have any questions following the webinar, our team is here to help.

Whether you need support understanding the eligibility criteria, preparing for the application process or reviewing what BICS could mean for your business, we'd be happy to have a conversation.
