Woman:Thank you everybody, thank you. The Business Support Agency or BSA are very proud of the part we play in the development of business success. Today I'll give you a bit of background on the Agency, and then outline the steps involved in applying for support. OK? What we do, basically, is distribute financial support from our funds, which come from the central government Department of Education on the one hand, and then that sum is matched - the amount fluctuates on a yearly basis - by contributions from a number of multinational companies.
女:謝謝大家,謝謝你們。我們對于這個商業支持機構在商業成功發展上扮演的角色感到非常自豪。今天我將向大家介紹一些有關該機構的背景知識,然后概括一下申請商業支持的幾個步驟。好嗎?我們做的基本上就是,從我們的基金中分發財政款項,基金一方面來自中央政府教育部,另一方面,這一數額與一些跨國公司的捐款相匹配,每年的數額都在變動。
We then follow the procedures I'l1 be outlining in a moment. Some examples of this work, if you’re interested, can be seen in our annual report - I'll leave copies out for you to look at. Since we began, we've given out over three hundred grants. We made twenty awards last year alone, and expect that figure to rise to twenty-five next year. But we've not simply giving this money away - our criteria are strict.
接下來的流程我很快就會給大家說明。如果你有興趣的話,可以在我們的年度報告中看到一些這樣的例子——我會把它的副本留給你們去看。自從我們成立以來,我們已經發放了三百多份款項。僅去年一年,我們就獲得了20個獎項,預計明年這個數字將升至25個。但是我們不是簡單地將資金發放出去-我們的標準是很嚴格的。
So, how do you apply? Well, there are four steps to making an application. In the first place, you should get in touch with our Project Co-ordinating Office. You can call them on 0188 45 45 45 and express your interest. They'll then send you an application form. it's quite a lengthy document, I must warn you, and you'll need to fill in information about the history of your company, outline your requirements, and include the predicted benefits. That gives us the beginning of a picture and enables us to make an initial decision about whether to proceed any further.
所以,您該如何申請呢?申請的流程分四步。首先,您應該和我們的項目協調辦公室聯系。你可以打0188 45 45 45,表達你的興趣。然后他們會寄給你一份申請表。我必須提醒您,申請表是份很長的文件,您需要填寫關于你們公司的歷史,概述您的需求,并填寫預期的資金。這為我們提供了一個開端,使我們能夠初步決定申請是否可以繼續進行下去。
