Funding for the West Midlands SME Grant Programme is nearly fully committed, with applications already in the pipeline funding has reached its full allocation for 2024 - 2025.

Should you still wish to apply, we can discuss the suitability of your project to progress to the application stage. However, if you are successful, Birmingham City Council will only issue a grant funding agreement, if there is funding remaining due to underperformance in the currently approved applications. Alternatively, you may still apply and if new grant funding becomes available from April 2025, your project may need to be delayed to commence after that date.
