Business Grants and Awards

Grants for Start Up Businesses

Generally speaking funding for new businesses in the Harrogate district is very limited.
 
Business Link York and North Yorkshire provides a wide range of one-to-one advice and support to people wanting to start a business in the Harrogate district.  Amongst other things, they can advise you on potential sources of grants and awards for your new business. 
 
If you would prefer to access grant information online, you can register on the local Business Link website to access a Grantfinder searchable database.  This contains information on European, national and local schemes that apply to the York and North Yorkshire area (including the Harrogate district).
 
The database can be used to search for potential grant and other schemes by entering details of your business and project idea. Based on the brief details entered, a search will then be performed which will highlight any potentially relevant schemes.  To access this service you will need to register on the Business Link website.
 
Links to the above mentioned websites are provided in the right hand panel of this webpage.
 

Aged 16 to 30?

If you are between 16 and 30 you may be able to access additional help and support to start up your  new business.
