Finance for start-ups

Starting a business venture in Sandwell?

Our experienced advisers will help you secure the right kind of finance for your business needs. Whether it’s a loan or equity you need, our Business Growth Team gives practical support to help your start-up grow and thrive.

Grants to ‘Start Up in Sandwell’

Due to programme timescales and high demand, all available start-up grants have now been fully allocated and no further grant funding is available at this time.

Businesses can still apply to take part in the Sandwell Enterprise Programme (subject to availability), which continues to offer fully funded one-to-one support and group sessions to help entrepreneurs develop their business ideas, build confidence and understand their finance options. While new applicants will not be eligible for grant funding, the programme remains a valuable source of practical guidance for those starting or recently established in Sandwell.

Visit our Open4Business funding portal

Open4Business offers funding news and information for your start-up business, including a searchable database of current EU, government and council grants, loans, venture capital funds and tax credit programmes.

While it is tailored for Sandwell Business Growth, to support our borough’s businesses, please note that it is powered by Idox, a leading provider of software design for government. We are not in charge of the content. 

Still need support? Sandwell Council’s Business Growth Team will know if there is further funding currently available to new businesses. Here’s how to get in touch.
