Grants

Whether your business is no more than a great idea or you've already started trading, there is a variety of funding and support available to help you develop or grow your venture.

We can provide guidance on the most appropriate grant for you and support you throughout the application process.

Newcastle University Pre-Start Grants

For Newcastle University students or graduates not yet trading but committed to developing a business idea. You could get up to £250 to support the development of your idea.

Newcastle University Start-up Grants

For Newcastle University students or graduates with early trading ventures able to show that they have been trading for less than six months. You could get up to £250 to support the growth of your venture.

Regional and National Funding

Our business advisers can also advise on additional regional or national funding that you may be eligible to apply for. This can range in value and can often require a contribution from the recipient company or individual.
