Backing Essex Business’ Post

Love it when we have a great little video to share - and this is certainly one. Since its launch in 2021, SWEF has awarded more than £45,000 to dozens of Dorset-based entrepreneurs aged between 18-30, providing their nascent (great word, gonna use it more in conversation over the next few months) businesses a vital source of funding stability as they find their feet in what can often prove to be a difficult and uncertain world. As our CEO, Grant Robson, says: “The idea of the fund is not just about supporting some genius with an idea that will change the world: it’s for ordinary, hard-working people who just want to utilise their skills, energy and courage to change their future but don’t have savings in the bank or parents who can afford to fund them". It's a fun process, too. Applicants fill out a form detailing their exciting business plan and then take part in a video call with our grant panel to discuss their idea in greater depth. And it doesn't stop there, either. Successful applicants are invited to be part of a Zoom network with their peers so they can share experiences and encourage one another - PAY IT FORWARD is the name of the game 👇👇👇 #business #dorsetbusiness #localbusiness #entrepreneurship #fundingopportunity #fundingsolutions

POTENTIAL SUPPORT FOR UK BUSINESSES! We encourage our members and followers to proactively check with their local authorities regarding potential opportunities through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund. This fund is intended to bolster independent businesses and stimulate local economic growth. By tapping into this initiative, you may discover tailored assistance that can contribute to the success and resilience of your business or organisation. WHAT IS THE UK SHARED PROSPERITY FUND (UKSPF)? The UKSPF along with other initiatives aims to empower local lead authorities to identify opportunities to build pride in place, improve the places in which people live, and support individuals and businesses to thrive. Money will be distributed to places based on a funding allocation. As a delegated fund, places will be empowered to identify and build on their own strengths and needs at a local level focused on building pride in place and increasing life chances and delivered through 3 investment priorities: communities and place, local businesses and people, and skills. Contact your local authority to see what support could be available to your business. #UKSPF #Funding #BusinessSupport #CommunitySupport
