Small businesses in Shropshire have until March next year to apply for business funding under a government grant scheme, organisers at Shropshire Council say.
Grants of between £2,000 and £10,000 are available to purchase new equipment or make improvements to business premises under the UKSPF Small Business Grant Scheme, which is being administered by Shropshire Council in the county.
Organisers say eligible projects will help create new employment opportunities, or develop new products, processes, or services within their business. "We would like as many applications before the Christmas break as possible to allow time for the awards to be made before March 2025.” Nick Davis, founder of award-winning Hobsons Brewery Ltd in South Shropshire, is a recent recipient of one of the grants and used it to purchase a training brew plant.
