Eligibility summary

Applicant must be a registered business.

Notes: Confirmed via Ashfield District Council's own business-support pages found via search (direct page fetch returned an error at research time — flagged for re-verification). Grant is applied to offset the first 3 months' rent only; amount depends on the specific unit taken. RE-ATTEMPTED (23 Aug 2026): the officialUrl still 404s. A fresh WebSearch corroborates the same detail (£250-£960 rent-relief grant, funded by the council's £3.2m UK Shared Prosperity Fund allocation, for the 14 units at High Pavement House, Sutton), and confirms High Pavement House itself is a completed, active facility (also home to Ashfield's Makerspace) — but every source found describing the rent grant specifically is still 2023-2024 news/social coverage tied to the building's launch, with nothing confirming the offer persists for new tenants taking units now. Given UKSPF (its funding source) ended nationally 31 March 2026, this remains ambiguous — could be a still-standing standard offer for the workspace, or a launch-period incentive that lapsed with its funding stream. Left flagged for review rather than guessing current status.
Requirement: Ashfield-based (or relocating to Ashfield) start-up, established sole trader, micro, or small/medium enterprise taking on one of the council's available workspace units.
