UK government has released a support package aimed at boosting cross-border business, yarkshirepost.co.uk reports.

UK Trade & Investment organisation, a UK Government department, has informed that businesses can develop international trade via online channels and that the support package can offer SMEs a cost-effective way to expand reach in terms of both numbers and geography.

The government unit is currently working with various international e-marketplaces, including Tmall China, Amazon China, Japanese ecommerce platform Rakuten and Harper’s Bazaar.

The programme, dubbed the e-Exporting Programme, will encourage UK exporters to reach out to the generation of digitally-capable consumers who are increasingly influenced through online channels.

In recent news, PayPal has revealed plans to launch in the UK the small and medium-sized business lending service dubbed PayPal Working Capital.
