Get ready to apply for Enterprise M3 grants tomorrow

Scheme expected to reach capacity within an hour

The Enterprise M3 Local Enterprise Partnership has launched a pre-application information page to help businesses prepare to apply for either a Kickstart Tourism or a Restart & Recovery SME grant ahead of both schemes opening at noon tomorrow (Tuesday 15 September).

The Kickstart Tourism grant is aimed at businesses in the visitor economy, while the Restart and Recovery SME grant is aimed at businesses with fewer than 250 employees. Applicants for both must have been impacted by coronavirus and must satisfy further eligibility criteria. Businesses can apply for grants of between £1000 - £3000 (up to £5000 in exceptional circumstances) toward professional services to help them adapt during the coronavirus pandemic.

The scheme is being operated on a strict first come, first served basis and is expected to reach capacity within an hour of opening. Applicants will need to have some important information to hand when checking their eligibility through the online gateway diagnostic tool.

Both grants cover 100% of the cost of the product or service applied for and require no match-funding. Funds will be paid upon receipt of an invoice.

To prepare to apply for either scheme, please visit the Enterprise M3 pre-application information page.
