More than £250k awarded to local small businesses.

More than £250k has been awarded to local small businesses since the Reigate & Banstead Business Support Grants programme launched in 2013.

 

Business Support Grants of up to £1,000 are available to local businesses with less than 4 employees who are looking to start, develop or grow.

 

A recent survey asked recipients how the grant had helped their business?

  • "Absolutely - without it the employment of my first employee would have been delayed, I would have lost business due to capacity issues and I wouldn't have grown as quickly as I did."
  • “It’s been fantastic to have the opportunity to meet and engage with the local council which is helping start-ups to hit the ground running.  I’d highly recommend applying for a grant.”
  • “The grants make the world of difference to a small business.  I think the scheme is crucial to the success of the borough, giving micro businesses a leg-up to become small businesses, and beyond!”
