Business support and grant funding now open for Worcestershire businesses

Worcestershire’s budding entrepreneurs and growing businesses are being given a major boost, thanks to a fully funded package of expert support and grant funding available through the Enterprising Worcestershire programme.

Backed by Worcestershire County Council, the initiative is designed to help start-ups get off the ground and support ambitious enterprises ready to scale. From practical workshops to one-to-one coaching, Enterprising Worcestershire offers a tailored approach to business success.

Gary Woodman, Chief Executive of Worcestershire Local Enterprise Partnership and Assistant Director for Economy at Worcestershire County Council, commented: “We know that starting and growing a business can be both exciting and challenging. That’s why we’re proud to support programmes like Enterprising Worcestershire, which provide practical tools, tailored advice, and funding to help local entrepreneurs take the next step with confidence. Investing in early-stage businesses is investing in the future of our local economy.”

In addition to business support, a range of grant funding opportunities are also available, including support for elevating your business, research and development (R&D), and reducing energy costs through the British Energy Advice Service Grant.

The Enterprising Worcestershire programmes are open to businesses and residents located in the districts of Bromsgrove, Malvern Hills, Redditch, Wychavon, and Wyre Forest.
