We know that pre-start and early-stage businesses (up to 3 years trading) often need extra funding at the start of their journey. To help, the council has launched the Stevenage Start-up Business Grant.

This grant is aimed at small businesses and forms part of our wider business support offer. It aims to:

  • Encourage the creation of sustainable new businesses

  • Boost entrepreneurship and innovation

  • Support enterprise activities

  • Help create new jobs in Stevenage

Eligible businesses can apply for a non-repayable grant of £500 to £2,000 to help cover start-up costs. The grant amount will depend on your business stage and project.

To apply, your business must have recently received advice from either:

  • Wenta’s Get Enterprising Programme, or

  • Herts Growth Hub Business Support Team
