Description

A live business advice and support service delivered by the Hull and East Yorkshire Combined Authority (HEYCA) with East Riding of Yorkshire Council and Hull City Council, funded by HEYCA's share of the national Local Growth Fund that replaced the UK Shared Prosperity Fund from April 2026. Offers one-to-one guidance from experienced business advisers plus specialist workshops, events, online resources, and some financial assistance, covering business planning, finance, marketing, productivity, innovation, exporting, energy efficiency, and supply chains — for both established businesses and people exploring starting one. After strong demand in its first three months (April-June 2026: 643 enquiries, 180 established businesses given non-financial support, 60 potential entrepreneurs supported), the Mayor extended the programme for a further six months. Distinct from HEYCA's separate Growing Places Fund (capital grants/loans of £5,000-£250,000, covered immediately above in this directory), which this programme can refer eligible businesses into.

Amount

Free one-to-one business advice, workshops, and specialist support; some financial assistance signposted in, but no fixed grant amount published for this programme itself

Deadline

Rolling / no fixed deadline

Eligibility summary

Available in: England.
Applicant must be a registered business.

Notes: Primarily an advice/non-financial support service (advisers, workshops, specialist sessions) with some financial assistance signposted in; no fixed grant amount is published for this programme itself (for capital grants/loans, see the separate Growing Places Fund entry). needsReview because no official HEYCA programme page (as opposed to a news article about its extension) was found, and total programme funding wasn't separately broken out from HEYCA's wider Local Growth Fund allocation.
Requirement: Established businesses or prospective entrepreneurs based in Hull or East Riding of Yorkshire.

R&D claims and business grants are exactly where a specialist can make the biggest difference — both in claim size and time saved. We're building relationships with vetted professionals who can help with applications like this — register your interest and we'll follow up when we have someone to recommend.

Some of the organisations we may connect you with pay us a referral fee if you use their service. This never affects which listings you see in the directory. No live partner is confirmed yet for this listing.
