The SWEF Enterprise Fund: supporting young people and their emerging businesses

The SWEF Enterprise Fund comprises two grant programmes for young entrepreneurs aged 18-30 in Tyne & Wear and Northumberland to help them transform their own UK-registered businesses.

Start-up grants of up to £500 are available for pre-revenue businesses or businesses turning over less than £500 per month that have been trading for less than two years, whilst business development grants of up to £2,000 are available for businesses turning over more than £500 per month that have been trading for less than two and a half years.

This webinar is for North East-based start-up and business development agencies – as well as anyone working to support young entrepreneurs – to learn more about the Fund, where to direct young people to apply, and ask any questions. This will help to ensure a high quality of applications to the Fund.

As this event is a webinar, you won't be seen or heard on screen but you will be able to ask questions through the Q&A function.
