Business Grants for Young Entrepreneurs Programme

Grants of up to £2,000 are available for young entrepreneurs aged 18 to 30 to start or expand their own businesses.

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 are also provided.

The funding is delivered via regional Community Foundations in England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Find out more here.
