High Street Business Support Grant (Bassetlaw)

Description

Bassetlaw District Council grant of up to £3,000 for micro and small enterprises (fewer than 50 employees) trading independently in Worksop town centre or elsewhere in the district, drawn from a £120,000 capital allocation within the council's Pride in Place Programme (part of a wider £20 million, 10-year Pride in Place allocation to Worksop) rather than UKSPF as previously recorded. Runs April 2026 to March 2027, first-come-first-served.

Eligibility summary

• Available in: England.
• Applicant must be a registered business.
• Most relevant to: Retail.

Notes

Re-verified August 2026: the original UKSPF-bidding-and-grant-opportunities page now returns a server error, and the scheme has moved to a new Worksop Together Board / Pride in Place page (bassetlaw.gov.uk/community-and-living/worksop-together-board/high-street-business-support-grant/), officialUrl updated accordingly. The maximum grant is confirmed at up to £3,000 per business (not £4,000 as previously recorded), still drawn from the same £120,000 2026/27 capital pot but now described as Pride in Place funding rather than UKSPF, and now explicitly scoped April 2026-March 2027 with a separate Worksop Shop Frontage Grant alongside it.

Requirement

Micro or small enterprise (fewer than 50 employees) operating independently on a Bassetlaw high street or elsewhere within the district; must engage with a Business Adviser as part of the High Street Business Support Programme, hold Companies House/VAT/Tax Reference registration, and provide evidence of business rates paid to Bassetlaw or a rental agreement. Cannot also claim the council's separate Enterprise Grant Scheme if the business is under 3 years old, or have received other UKSPF-funded business support grants in the previous two years.
