A new programme is offering tailored business support to ethnic minority entrepreneurs across Sandwell. 

Supporting businesses through trusted local networks 

The Community Led Business Support Programme aims to reach established ethnic minority-led businesses that may not be engaging with traditional support services. By working through organisations they know and trust, the programme helps them to access advice, funding and growth opportunities. 

The programme is being delivered by SWEDA in partnership with Business Growth West Midlands and Sandwell Business Growth.

The programme offers flexible support for businesses trading 12 months or more, including: 

  • Business health checks and diagnostics 
  • One-to-one advice, mentoring and training 
  • Access to workshops, networking and specialist support 
  • Referrals for funding, premises, IP, exporting and more 

Support is delivered via trusted community organisations to help more businesses access the help they need.
