Sometimes, equipment and facilities you need to develop or research a product are beyond your business' capabilities. Through government programmes you may gain access to state-of-the-art expertise, resources and facilities. Assistance is available from the government through various programmes dedicated to bringing forth an innovative idea into a product ready for market. Help includes the testing of the viability of ideas and financing for research and development to product marketability. Resources are also available to help businesses create a business plan for their product or service.
After a product has been developed for market, advertising is often needed to raise awareness for it. There are programmes available to assist businesses in developing an advertising budget, advice and guidelines on advertising, as well as financial assistance for advertising. Furthermore, the government has other assistance programmes and services to help businesses to deal with any issues concerning legal regulations, intellectual property and business taxation.
