Elevate Worcestershire Grant
Businesses who receive support through the Elevate Growth Programme, have the opportunity to apply for the Elevate Worcestershire Grant. A match funded grant from £2,500 to £10,000 is available to assist the implementation of your growth plan.
Whether you are looking to expand your operations, invest in cutting edge technology, improve your marketing strategy, or expand into new markets, the Elevate Worcestershire Grant has got you covered.
Grants are awarded on a match-funded basis, meaning the SME will need to provide at least 60% of the total cost of the project.
