Fenland businesses have until the end of the month to complete a simple expression of interest form to put themselves in with a chance of getting a grant of up to £25k.

New businesses can get grants of up to £10k as well as a range of free services to support every stage of their business journey via the Fenland Start-Up Business Support Programme.

The programme provides support and grant funding to people with a business idea or a business that has been trading for less than a year.

Meanwhile, grants of £5,000 to £25,000 are available to Fenland businesses of all sizes in the second round of the Fenland Investment in Business grants programme.

More than £190k of funds were awarded in an initial phase of Investment in Business grants.

Nick Osborn, of Wisbech firm FRP Group Holdings, which secured one of the grants, said: "This will enable us to boost employment within our team and increase the range of services we offer to our customers.

"I would actively encourage other local SMEs to apply for the next round of funding as the process is really straightforward."

The grants are being delivered by Fenland District Council's economic growth team Fenland for Business.

They're funded by the UK Government's Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities (DLUHC) Shared Prosperity Fund thanks to a successful bid by Fenland District Council in partnership with Cambridgeshire and Peterborough Combined Authority.
