The new South East Midlands ‘Kickstart’ grants scheme has opened for applications from local businesses. As part of the national Government-funded programme, the purpose of the grants is to help businesses who have been affected by the impacts of COVID-19.
There are two schemes available, providing grants on average of between £1,000 and £3,000. One is specifically aimed at tourism-related businesses, while the other is open to any small or medium-sized business. Both grants will use the same application form and can be accessed through SEMLEP’s ‘Growth Hub’ website. More: https://www.semlepgrowthhub.com/covid-19-business-grants/.
