Worcestershire businesses are being encouraged to apply for free business support and grants of up to £10,000.

The Eureka! Moment, an innovative scheme run by Shropshire Council, has released a short film designed to make it even easier for local businesses in Worcestershire, Shropshire, Staffordshire and Herefordshire to apply .

Helen Hunter-Hayes, project officer for the Eureka! Moment scheme says, “The Eureka! Moment is a fantastic opportunity for businesses to get an extra boost. If you’re planning any kind of change or project investment, talk to us and find out if you’re eligible for support.”

Gary Dimmock of University of Wolverhampton says, “The Eureka! Moment’s partner network is staffed by extremely able business professionals and the support it can provide is second to none. Add the financial grants of up to £10,000 to the mix and the Eureka! Moment provides a real opportunity for businesses to accelerate their growth.”

In addition to the business support and grants offered by the scheme, the Eureka! Moment is a conduit to other business schemes and grant programmes that are available within the relevant regions. Businesses that participate in the Eureka! Moment can find themselves with much more support than they initially expected.
