Funding fairs will showcase opportunities for small businesses across Lincolnshire.

Funding fairs will take place between April and July in Greater Lincolnshire to showcase a multitude of opportunities for small businesses to gain that much needed boost in the form of a grant or funding support to promote business growth.

The fairs, which will take place in Gainsborough, Grimsby, Woodhall Spa and Spalding, are being organised by the Business Lincolnshire Growth Hub, part of the Greater Lincolnshire LEP.

They will provide a fantastic opportunity for businesses to speak to support providers on a one-to-one basis and help them to understand the best approach to gaining funding for their business ideas and future plans. There is also a chance for small businesses to ask questions on application processes and receive advice on how to take their businesses forward.

Businesses can access grants towards new machinery or equipment, upgrade their existing processes or develop their use of digital technology, including website design and development. There is also funding available towards the cost of business mentors or marketing support.

The events take place as follows:

  • 25th April - Gainsborough
  • 22nd May - Grimsby
  • 5th June - Woodhall Spa
  • 4th July - Spalding

Samantha Harrison, Head of the Business Lincolnshire Growth Hub, said: “This is a unique opportunity for all small businesses in Greater Lincolnshire to get involved and find out all they need to know about funding their business growth.”

Registration for the events is available via the Business Lincolnshire website or alternatively businesses can get in touch at events@bizlincolnshire.com for more details.
