Frequently Asked Questions
What is the UK Shared Prosperity Fund?
The UK Shared Prosperity Fund (UKSPF) replaced EU Structural Funds after Brexit. It provides £2.6 billion over 3 years to 2025, administered locally by LEPs, Mayoral Combined Authorities and local councils. Funding supports skills, communities and local business investment. Individual grants available through UKSPF vary by area — contact your local Growth Hub for what's available in your postcode.
How do I find my local LEP or Growth Hub?
England has 38 Local Enterprise Partnerships, each covering a geographic area. Find your LEP and its associated Growth Hub at www.lepnetwork.net or the gov.uk LEP finder. Growth Hubs provide free, impartial business support and can signpost you to local, regional and national grants relevant to your business. Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland have their own equivalents: Scottish Enterprise, Business Wales, and Invest NI respectively.
Are there specific grants for rural businesses?
Yes — the Farming in Protected Landscapes (FiPL) fund and the Rural England Prosperity Fund (REPF) target rural and farming businesses. The Countryside Stewardship scheme provides payments for land management. LEADER programme funding (under UKSPF) supports rural economic development in many areas. Contact your local council or DEFRA-approved delivery body for rural grants specific to your area.
