How grant funding is awarded

Funding is limited and offered on a first-come, first-served basis.

Grants are subject to availability and are restricted to one grant for each business.

Due to the level of funding available, the high volume of applications anticipated, and the competitiveness of each round, all applications will need to go through a 3-stage process to evaluate the project viability against the fund criteria.

Stage 1: Expression of interest (EOI).

To request an expression of interest form, email the Growth Hub team: bsgh@birmingham.gov.uk. Use 'Birmingham and Solihull Export Support Programme' in the email subject field.

Stage 2: A mandatory discussion with an advisor from the Growth Hub.

Stage 3: Potential applicants will be invited to submit a full application.

We will not be able to support all projects that are submitted.

Submitting your full application early does not guarantee you will receive funding.

Who to contact

If you would like to speak with one of our Growth Hub Business Advisors, email: bsgh@birmingham.gov.uk. Use 'Birmingham and Solihull Export Support Programme' in the email subject field.
