Are you a budding entrepreneur with a winning idea or an existing business owner looking for a boost? Simply Business invites you to apply for its Business Boost grant program.
Small businesses are built on big dreams – but every dream could do with a boost to make it happen. And with recent data revealing that 48 per cent of people have their own side hustle, Simply Business wants to help one ambitious entrepreneur do their best.
Small businesses are the beating heart of the UK economy, and it’s never been more important for us all to do the best to support their success.
Funding Information
- Impress the expert panel of industry-leading judges and £25,000 could be yours.
- They want to boost a small business with a £25,000 grant because:
- small businesses account for 99% of all British businesses and contribute a combined £2 trillion in annual turnover to the UK economy – they need them to bounce back
- 27% will have to use personal savings to prop up their business
- UK small businesses are owed up to £32.1 billion in late payments
