Increase business productivity with the support of a grant

The West Midlands SME Grants Programme seeks to increase productivity by improving business confidence, stimulating business activity, attracting investment, safeguarding existing and creating new jobs within local communities.

It offers grant funding of £2,500 to £100k (note: it would be expected that the average grant would be circa £20k-30k).  

The intervention rate will be up to 50% of the total grant. 

The grant funding will be provided for the following activities: 

  • Establishment of new business start-ups with grants available from £2,500-£7,500 
  • Relocation, expansion and growth of existing businesses 
  • Develop new markets opportunities 
  • Promotional activities 
  • Innovation – Including the development of new products including prototyping, testing and commercialisation 
  • Low carbon/energy efficiency/waste management – Green grants (link to decarbonisation) 
  • Improving systems and processes 
  • Capital investment, eg, new plant, machinery and equipment 
  • Increase in productive capacity of new and existing premises through new property builds/refurbishment/extensions. 

The grant funding will not be used for training and skills development because this provision is supported through alternative funding routes.
