Unfortunately not, but there have been initiatives available in the past from Business Link, there website is http://www.businesslink.gov.uk/bdotg/action/home . Unfortunately, the coalition governments cuts have ensured that there funds are not as generous as they have been in the past to help with this type of thing

Of course, all costs involved with staff are allowable against profits so, whilst not a tax break as such, their wages, your national insurance contribution for them and their legitimate, claimed expenses are fully allowed as a business expense.

I would second Paul's comment. Businesslink have been useful in my county but it does vary around the UK but its certainly worth a phone call.
