Oldham businesses can apply for a grant of up to £3,000 to help them install superfast broadband as part of the "Super Connected broadband Scheme".
This can help local businesses double their existing speed if it is already above 30MB and businesses can also choose to get their faster broadband via wireless technology.
A voucher can be claimed by an individual organisation, or organisations can apply as a group, through a landlord or agent. VAT is payable on the connection charge and companies will also have to pay the monthly subscription fee for their new broadband connection
Oldham council has already invested £369,000 towards the roll out of super-fast broadband across the borough which will ensure that 99.6 per cent of premises will have access to this speed by the end of 2017.
Funding is limited and on a first come first served basis. Log onto www.manchester.gov.uk/superconnected to see if you are eligible.
