Entrepreneurs in Fenland have a second chance to secure a grant of up to £10,000.

The grants, part of the Fenland Start-Up Business Support Programme, are available to those with a business plan who have not yet launched, or businesses that have been operating for less than a year.

The initiative, funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, also comes with a package of free support.

Councillor Ian Benney, Fenland District Council’s portfolio holder for economic growth, said: “We want to work with people who have new businesses or plans for a new business to help them thrive.

“This is an incredible opportunity to get funds to help in that journey and vital free support too."
