SWEF Established Business Grants

The SWEF enterprise and business fund awards grants of up to £2,000 to young people in South Yorkshire who need support with business start up costs that they would otherwise not be able to afford, and particularly those who are not in education, employment or training. This is not a loan scheme and recipients do not need to pay the grant back.

You can apply if you:

  • are running a business that has been trading for under two years. 
  • are aged 18 to 30
  • currently live in the county of South Yorkshire
  • are from a low income household or facing other challenges preventing you from developing your business

When can you expect to find out the outcome? You should have a response within 6 weeks of submitting your application
