There are well over 2,000 packages of grants and other financial assistance available within the UK to assist business growth and development. Here in Wrexham there are over 60 programmes of grants and financial assistance which may be available to assist eligible businesses. Eligibility will be determined by a variety of factors including where the business is located, how long the business has been established and what type of business it is.
The Council's Business Development and Enterprise Team can assist in assembling optimum packages of financial assistance. However, eligibility can normally be determined after discussion with the individual business concerned.
