SMEs – Here’s how you can benefit from Asda’s Apprenticeship Levy transfers
13 September 2025Did you know that large employers like Asda pay into the Apprenticeship Levy, but often can’t use all the funds themselves?
The good news 👉 they can transfer up to 50% of their unused Levy funds to smaller businesses.
That means SMEs can access fully funded training and apprenticeships, helping you:
✅ Upskill existing staff
✅ Bring in new apprentices
✅ Grow your business with less financial burden
Asda has already supported over 135 apprentices across 55 SMEs through these transfers. But millions of pounds still go unspent each year due to strict rules on how the Levy can be used.
If you’re an SME, this is a real opportunity to strengthen your workforce and tap into resources that would otherwise be lost.

Identify the skills you need in your business
It’s a win-win: you get the talent and training support your business needs, and Levy funds are put to good use.
