Liaise with your Local Enterprise Partnership
LEP's are partnerships between local authorities and local businesses. They decide what the priorities should be for investment and facilities in your area - there are 39 in total nationally with over 15 in the Midlands and SW. Furthermore, LEP's were given the chance to apply to have an 'Enterprise Zone' with further benefits to local businesses and 24 nationally were awarded. These zones can take advantage of tax incentives and simplified local planning regulations.
See the full list and map of local enterprise partnerships and enterprise zones below:
Connect to your LEP to understand what's happening in your local area. You can also use the BPIF 'Funding Finder' located on our home page:
