The Welsh Government’s Business Wales service has been a programme to help inspire individuals to become entrepreneurial and ensure micro, small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) in Wales have access to appropriate and timely information, guidance and support. It has previously been supported by EU funds. As we know the UK Government has made a drastic cut in replacement EU funds for Wales.


  

I am announcing today that I have decided to fund £20\.9m per annum, up until March 2025, to extend the backbone Business Wales service beyond the end of EU funding in 2023\. It will also provide dedicated advice and support provision to the social enterprise sector here in Wales. 


The UK Government had a clear manifesto pledge in the 2019 election to replace and “at a minimum match the size” of former EU funding in each nation of the UK.  The breaking of that promise means that the Welsh budget is more than £1 billion worse off. In addition, the UK Government has chosen to bypass the Welsh Government with the Shared Prosperity Fund and requires local government to administer it. 


As a result Wales now has less say over money. The Welsh Government will have hard choices to make as will other institutions across business, higher and further education, and the third sector who have used EU funding to support vital investments in Wales’ economy and our people.


Despite the UK Government’s broken promise on replacement EU funding we will build on the future of Business Wales and Social Business Wales. We will continue to provide a simple, connected and visible support system to entrepreneurs and SMEs wherever they live in Wales. Building on the success of delivery to date, the Business Wales service will be underpinned by three key aims:


1. To build confidence and inspire individuals, entrepreneurs and micro/SME businesses to reach their full potential. To work with key stakeholders to develop  a cohesive ecosystem that is visible, simple and connected to ensure Wales is a great place to start and grow a business in the foundation or growth economies.
2. To address a key gap by creating the conditions for businesses to start, sustain and grow through the missing middle in inclusive and sustainable ways.
3. To support the productivity, resilience, growth, decarbonising and sustainability of micro and SMEs. To secure their long\-term future ownership within Wales cementing their continued contribution to the Welsh economy.


The overall service will be a combination of openly procured and in house delivery starting from 2023\. The service will be delivered under five key delivery areas, which will focus on:


* the Business Wales digital platform and helpline providing a fully bilingual, accessible point of contact for all entrepreneurs and established businesses; offering a full range of information, guidance and support  with a digital first response.
* developing a culture of entrepreneurship and business start\-up in Wales. Inspire and develop the business capability of entrepreneurs focussing on three main groups:  young people under 25 years, adults who are considering becoming self\-employed or starting their own business,  \& targeted outreach for individuals underrepresented in business start\-up and society.
* building the confidence and resilience of the business community in Wales with dedicated advice and support. Helping them create opportunities for employment, to stimulate sustainable and inclusive growth, to improve practice and productivity.
* building on the current Accelerated Growth Programme to provide tailored support for selected start\-ups and existing businesses with the aspiration and the potential to achieve high growth.


In addition to the above, I will be investing £1\.7m of the funding in the social enterprise sector to provide specialist business advice to support the ‘Transforming Wales through Social Enterprise’ vision to put social enterprises at the heart of a fairer, more sustainable and more prosperous Wales.


I recognise that Business Wales cannot deliver on all local business support provision required by entrepreneurs, micro and SMEs across Wales. The service is designed to build on its strength as a nationally delivered service those partners and complements local delivery and wider funding opportunities available to the third and public sector.

Mae gwasanaeth Busnes Cymru Llywodraeth Cymru wedi bod yn rhaglen allweddol a ariennir gan yr UE i helpu i ysbrydoli unigolion i fod yn entrepreneuraidd, a sicrhau bod microfusnesau a busnesau bach a chanolig (BBaChau) yng Nghymru yn gallu cael gafael ar wybodaeth, canllawiau a chymorth priodol ac amserol. Arferai dderbyn cymorth gan gronfeydd yr UE. Fel y gwyddoch, mae Llywodraeth y DU wedi lleihau’n sylweddol gyfanswm y cyllid ar gyfer Cymru a fydd yn cymryd lle cronfeydd yr UE. 


Rwyf yn cyhoeddi heddiw fy mod wedi penderfynu darparu £20\.9m y flwyddyn, hyd at fis Mawrth 2025, i ymestyn gwasanaeth asgwrn cefn Busnes Cymru ar ôl i gyllid yr UE ddod i ben yn 2023\. Golyga hyn y bydd y gwasanaeth hefyd yn gallu darparu cyngor a chymorth penodol i'r sector mentrau cymdeithasol yma yng Nghymru. 


Roedd gan Lywodraeth y DU addewid maniffesto clir yn etholiad 2019 i ddisodli a “man lleiaf ddarparu yr un faint o gyllid” ag a ddarparwyd ynghynt gan yr UE ar gyfer pob gwlad yn y DU. Golyga’r ffaith bod Llywodraeth y DU wedi torri eu haddewid fod cyllideb Cymru dros £1 biliwn yn llai. Yn ogystal mae wedi dewis mabwysiadu’r Gronfa Ffyniant Gyffredin, a hynny’n annibynnol ar Lywodraeth Cymru, gan ei gwneud hi’n ofynnol i lywodraeth leol ei gweinyddu. 


Golyga hyn fod gan Gymru lai o lais dros arian. Bydd gan Lywodraeth Cymru, ynghyd â sefydliadau eraill ar draws byd busnes, addysg uwch ac addysg bellach, a'r trydydd sector benderfyniadau anodd i’w gwneud gan eu bod wedi defnyddio arian yr UE i gefnogi buddsoddiadau hanfodol yn economi a phobl Cymru.


Er gwaethaf methiant Llywodraeth y DU i gadw ei haddewid i ddisodli cyllid yr UE, byddwn yn adeiladu ar ddyfodol Busnes Cymru a Busnes Cymdeithasol Cymru. Byddwn hefyd yn parhau i ddarparu system gymorth syml, gysylltiedig a gweladwy i entrepreneuriaid a BBaChau lle bynnag y maent yng Nghymru.


Gan adeiladu ar lwyddiant yr hyn a gyflawnwyd hyd yma, bydd tri nod allweddol yn sail i wasanaeth Busnes Cymru, sef:


1. Meithrin hyder ac ysbrydoli unigolion, entrepreneuriaid a microfusnesau/BBaChau i gyrraedd eu llawn botensial. I weithio gyda rhanddeiliaid allweddol i ddatblygu ecosystem gydlynol sy'n weladwy, yn syml ac yn gysylltiedig i sicrhau bod Cymru yn lle gwych i ddechrau a thyfu busnes yn yr economïau sylfaenol neu dwf.
2. Mynd i'r afael â bwlch allweddol drwy greu'r amodau i fusnesau ddechrau, cynnal a thyfu drwy'r canol coll mewn modd cynhwysol a chynaliadwy.
3. Cefnogi cynhyrchiant, gwydnwch, twf, datgarboneiddio a chynaliadwyedd microfusnesau a BBaChau. Sicrhau eu perchnogaeth hirdymor yng Nghymru yn y dyfodol, a chadarnhau eu cyfraniad parhaus i economi Cymru.


Bydd y gwasanaeth cyffredinol yn gyfuniad o gaffael agored a darparu mewnol, gan ddechrau o 2023\. Bydd y gwasanaeth yn cael ei ddarparu o dan bum maes cyflawni allweddol a fydd yn canolbwyntio ar y canlynol:


* platfform digidol a llinell gymorth Busnes Cymru, a fydd yn bwynt cyswllt cwbl ddwyieithog a hygyrch i bob entrepreneur a busnes sefydledig; cynnig ystod lawn o wybodaeth, canllawiau a chymorth gydag ymateb digidol yn gyntaf.
* datblygu diwylliant o entrepreneuriaeth a dechrau busnes yng Nghymru. Ysbrydoli a datblygu gallu busnes entrepreneuriaid, gan ganolbwyntio ar dri phrif grŵp: pobl ifanc o dan 25 oed, oedolion sy'n ystyried dod yn hunangyflogedig neu ddechrau eu busnes eu hunain, ac allgymorth wedi'i dargedu ar gyfer unigolion sy'n cael eu tangynrychioli mewn busnesau newydd a chymdeithas.
* meithrin hyder a gwydnwch y gymuned fusnes yng Nghymru gyda chyngor a chymorth penodol. Eu helpu i greu cyfleoedd ar gyfer gwaith, i sbarduno twf cynaliadwy a chynhwysol ac i wella arferion a chynhyrchiant.
* adeiladu ar y Rhaglen Cyflymu Twf bresennol i ddarparu cymorth wedi'i deilwra ar gyfer busnesau newydd dethol a busnesau sy'n bodoli eisoes sydd â’r dyhead a'r potensial i gyflawni twf uchel.


Yn ogystal â'r uchod, byddaf yn buddsoddi £1\.7m o’r cyllid yn y sector mentrau cymdeithasol i ddarparu cyngor busnes arbenigol i gefnogi gweledigaeth ‘Trawsnewid Cymru trwy Fenter Gymdeithasol’ i roi mentrau cymdeithasol wrth wraidd Cymru decach, fwy cynaliadwy a mwy ffyniannus.


Rwy’n cydnabod na all Busnes Cymru gyflawni'r holl ddarpariaeth cymorth busnes lleol sy'n ofynnol gan entrepreneuriaid, microfusnesau a BBaChau ledled Cymru. Mae'r gwasanaeth wedi'i gynllunio i adeiladu ar ei gryfder fel gwasanaeth a ddarperir yn genedlaethol, a gweithio mewn partneriaeth i ategu darpariaeth leol a'r cyfleoedd ariannu ehangach sydd ar gael i'r trydydd sector a'r sector cyhoeddus yng Nghymru.
