Across Worcestershire there are a range of small grants available to young businesses.  These grants are awarded by the local economic teams within the individual district, town or city councils. 

Funding does vary from council to council and so does the criteria for applying.  Ranging from £500 to £750 for ‘start-up’ grants and in the region of £1000 for business booster grants i.e. businesses trading over 18 months. For more information, please do contact your local Economic Development Team:
