Club together to fund faster connectivity to your business park 

The BDUK voucher scheme allows companies to club together the £3k grant available if it means getting fibre to them collectively.  A Jola Partner had a customer who wanted faster broadband but it wasn't available at a reasonable cost due to the extra work needed digging up the road and laying cable. He saw this as an opportunity and went round to all to units to let them know about the voucher scheme and the quandary his customer was in, our partner managed to sell the idea of collectively bringing fibre into the business park setting up a multi tenanted access network to 15 of the 20 units.

Dramatically reduce the cost of faster connectivity to your site

This had a cost of £3,733 per unit of which £3k was covered by the voucher scheme.  15 business all got 20Mb/s of dedicated access to the internet at around £140pcm each, the IT company sold a 300Mb/s internet connection and at the same time gained 14 new customers that I believe they are now selling other services to.
