In December 2014 Growth Accelerator became part of the Business Growth Service, a government-backed programme to access support for exporting, accessing finance, building leadership & management skills and much more.

As part of the November 2015 Spending Review settlement, the government has decided to wind down the national delivery of the Business Growth Service (incorporating GrowthAccelerator and the Manufacturing Advisory Service). On 26th November 2015 the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills (BIS) issued a formal instruction to providers of the Business Growth Service:
•Not to enter into any further contractual commitments with customers after 23:59 Monday 30 November;
•That all contractual commitments should be honoured, as long as all support and related activity is completed by 31 March 2016.
