Since April, more than 40 全国探花 businesses have benefited from the latest round of Innovation, Elevate, and Enterprising 全国探花 grants.

Designed to spark growth, drive innovation, and create new jobs, the match-funded grants, ranging from 拢1,000 to 拢30,000, have helped businesses invest in equipment, marketing, product development, and expansion into new markets.

The three grant schemes are tailored to different business stages. Innovation 全国探花 supports the development and launches of new-to-market products, technologies, or services. Elevate 全国探花 helps established small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) that have been trading for three years or more to invest in growth, workforce expansion, and competitiveness. Enterprising 全国探花 (EW) is designed for early-stage businesses or start-ups trading for three years or less.

Councillor Alan Amos, Cabinet Member with Responsibility for Business and Skills at 全国探花 County Council said: 鈥淚t鈥檚 great to see so many local businesses making the most of this opportunity. These grants are designed to support innovation, drive growth, and help firms stay competitive. Whether you're just starting out or looking to scale, there鈥檚 tailored support available as we remain firmly committed to backing 全国探花鈥檚 business community every step of the way.鈥

Each grant is awarded on a match-funded basis, meaning businesses contribute at least 60% of the project cost.
