Get a brighter future for your start-up with grant funding!

The Enterprising Worcestershire Start-Up Grant offers funding from £1,000 up to a maximum of £30,000.

These grants are designed to help start-ups and early-stage businesses with investments such as purchasing IT equipment, machinery and marketing materials and can help part fund the cost of building a website for your brand.

Could your business be next?

The grants are match funded and will provide 40% of the total cost of a project, meaning 60% is to be funded by the SME. Your business must be less than three years old and trade primarily business to business.

Please note that grant-funded projects must be completed and claimed by 31 May 2023.

All Worcestershire SMEs who meet the eligibility criteria can apply for a grant. Find out more about eligibility on The Worcestershire County Council website. If you would like to talk to an advisor, email EW@worcestershire.gov.uk.
