Provided by SWEF through the Business Grants for Young Entrepreneurs programme, this funding supports young people needing assistance with business investments they could not otherwise afford, especially those not in education, employment, or training.
The grants cover essential costs for new businesses, including equipment, marketing materials, training, website creation, and product development.
Mentoring and network support is also provided.
Businesses must have been trading for less than 2 years.
The funding is delivered via regional Community Foundations in England, Wales and Northern Ireland; please refer to their websites for application details.
