Young entrepreneurs in Somerset are being encouraged to apply for SWEF Enterprise grants designed to help new and growing businesses take their next step. The funding is provided locally by Somerset Community Foundation and is aimed at people aged 18 to 30 who need financial support to start or develop a business.
There are 2 funding routes available. A Start-Up Grant offers up to £500 for businesses that are close to becoming revenue-generating, while an Established Business Grant offers up to £2,000 for businesses under 2 years old that are ready to grow and develop.
These grants could offer a valuable boost to ambitious young business owners across Somerset, whether they are just getting started or looking to build on early progress.
