SWEF Start-Up and Business Grants (Wiltshire and Swindon)

Wiltshire and Swindon Community Foundation works with SWEF to give young entrepreneurs aged 18 to 30 in Wiltshire and Swindon start-up grants of up to £500, for businesses in the early stages or trading under two years and earning less than £500 a month, and business grants of up to £2,000, for businesses trading from six months to three years or earning over £500 a month for three months. Requested items should generate revenue within three months, and an idea alone is not enough: you need evidence of real steps taken. The foundation prioritises people often underrepresented in business, including people on low incomes, women, migrants, minoritised ethnic communities, disabled people and people with few formal qualifications.
