About the grant

SWEF Business Grants are for young entrepreneurs whose businesses are already trading, with a Start-Up Grant for those at the very beginning. In Norfolk they’re managed by Norfolk Community Foundation, a registered charity that awards grants across the county.

Thinking of applying?

If you’re 18 to 30 and run a young business in Norfolk, it’s worth a look. The grant can go towards things like training, equipment, marketing and one-off costs such as a website. The Foundation’s SWEF page has the full criteria and says whether the fund is open.

Our application took around two weeks from applying to the offer. The one thing we’d pass on is to go in with a clear business plan, knowing what the grant will pay for and how it moves the business forward.

Thank you

Thank you to Norfolk Community Foundation for the support. It came in the same month Brava joined Norfolk Chambers of Commerce, so it’s been a good few weeks for us locally.

Starting a business in Norfolk? We build websites for new local businesses and run the SEO and ads that bring in enquiries, with prices on the page.
