Eligibility summary

Available in: England.
Applicant must be a registered business.
Most relevant to: Retail, Hospitality & Tourism.

Notes: Corrected at the August 2026 review: the delivery partner is Retail Revival Ltd, not Buckinghamshire Business First as previously recorded — confirmed via Retail Revival's own case-studies page and press coverage of the contract award. The previously flagged UKSPF-funding concern is resolved: despite receiving no further UKSPF allocation from central government, Buckinghamshire Council has confirmed it is continuing the programme into 2026/27 using its own funds, citing its impact on small businesses and high streets.
Requirement: Independent high street businesses in Buckinghamshire, having completed 6 hours of free support (workshops, webinars, or 1-2-1 advisor sessions) through the programme.
