Plus an Interactive Session to Help You Apply
We’re excited to share that the Better Business Grant has officially reopened for 2026, giving local organisations another opportunity to access funding that supports productivity, innovation and long‑term business improvement.
The Better Business Grant is designed to help companies invest in projects that strengthen operations, streamline processes, and unlock meaningful growth. Whether you're looking to adopt new technology, improve efficiency, or develop capabilities within your team, the grant can provide financial support to make those plans a reality.
You can find full details about the grant, eligibility criteria, and how to apply here.
Join our interactive session: Turn your idea into a funded project
To support employers in making the most of this opportunity, we’ll be running an interactive session on 24th February designed to help businesses from all sectors understand what makes a strong application, and how to develop an idea into a successful, grant‑funded project.
In this practical session, we’ll cover:
- How to identify the projects most likely to benefit your business
- What assessors look for in a compelling grant application
- How to turn a good idea into a structured, well‑defined project
- Tips for demonstrating impact, value and long-term benefits
Whether you’re new to grants or looking to build on previous applications, this session will provide guidance, examples and plenty of discussion to help you move from inspiration to action.
