Small business grants of up to £5k available to qualifying Reigate & Banstead businesses
The Grant has been created to support local small businesses who are looking to expand, enter new markets, become more environmentally sustainable, increase their
efficiency or capacity, and follow their growth trajectory. It is for small businesses of up to 49 employees who can demonstrate real growth.
The award is a ‘one off’ grant, intended to help small businesses grow by enabling them to gain new accredited skills or invest in new plant or premises that would lead to the recruitment of new staff, including apprentices. We will also look favourably on applications that reduce the environmental impact of your business and/ or your products. The Council has allocated £100,000 to this initiative with individual awards available of up to £5,000 per business. For details and how to apply click here.
