Notes: Confirmed via Wyre Council's own investinwyre.co.uk page. Re-verified in August 2026 with more precise terms: the grant is up to £5,000 (50% match funding required), with a minimum grant of £2,000, and a subsidy cap of £315,000 over 3 years. Two-stage process: an Expression of Interest followed by a full application for eligible projects, assessed against published criteria and subject to a Grant Funding Agreement. The council's own page describes two assessment rounds — Round 1 scored mid-November 2025 with grants paid by 28 February 2026 (already passed), and Round 2 scored March 2026 with grants paid by 28 February 2027 — read as a two-round funding cycle rather than a fixed application deadline; further rounds communicated via the Wyred Up newsletter.
Requirement: Micro or small business trading in the Wyre borough for at least 1 year, with fewer than 50 employees and turnover under £15 million (or balance sheet under £7.5 million); must register with Wyred Up (Wyre Council's business network, free to join); established businesses seeking to scale up or diversify also qualify.
