FUNDING & GRANTS

There’s a wide range of support available for small and medium-sized businesses and our team of Business Growth Managers provides a single point of contact and access for all business support and funding in Leeds.

Working with our network of contacts in other public and private sector organisations, we can help you to access:

• finance to help your business grow
• grants to support investment in premises, machinery, equipment and digital technologies
• leadership and management development for your senior team
• apprenticeship training for new starters and existing members of staff
• export support and advice
• expert advice on reducing energy costs and the carbon footprint of your business

We can also act as a gateway to the Council and its services. Whether it’s planning, highways, or business rates, for example, we can help find the right person to answer your questions or solve a problem.

There’s also help for new start businesses and people thinking about setting up their own business.

Our job is to connect businesses with the right support, at the right time.
