Wychavon Business Front Improvement Grant

How businesses look has a significant impact on how people feel about a place and where they choose to spend their money.

If you are an independent small or medium-sized business, in specific areas of Evesham and Droitwich Spa then the Business Front Improvement Grant is an opportunity to get free support from Wychavon, working in partnership with our local Place Boards, to upgrade your premises.

Grants of between £500 and £10,000 are available to apply for. You will be expected to fund 50% of the cost of any project from your own funds.

Existing businesses, new start-ups and property owners of occupied and empty units can apply.

The scheme is funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, as part of our commitment to supporting our town centres.

Why apply for a Business Front Improvement Grant?
