If you are based in the West Oxfordshire District Council area, and you would like to start your business, then you can register for this event. If you are outside of the district, please register for the OxLEP Start Up Club.

West Oxfordshire Spark Programme

The West Oxfordshire Business SPARK programme is fully funded support designed to help you to start your own successful business or create a profitable side hustle. You can access over 15 hours of support delivered through a mix of in-person and online events. Start-up businesses are the lifeblood of a local thriving economy and will create more opportunities for residents to get started right, to secure their first customers and to grow.

This support will be engaging and fun, but also challenging, to ensure that you get maximum value.

Minimal Financial Assistance (MFA) scheme

The Growth Hub programme operates a Minimal Financial Assistance (MFA) scheme. All SMEs which receive support under this programme are being aided under the UK Subsidy Control Act (2022) and The Subsidy Control (Gross Cash Amount and Gross Cash Equivalent) Regulations (2022 No. 1186).

MFA allows a beneficiary to receive up to £315,000 of Subsidy over a three-fiscal year period (i.e. the current and previous two fiscal years). The value of MFA given is the gross cash amount or the gross cash equivalent of the subsidy. The MFA value of this webinar is 0.

At the end of each financial year, we are required to tell you the total amount of support you have received from OxLEP. By signing up to the event you are consenting to us holding your data in line with our Privacy Policy – OxLEP Business to allow us to do this. We will only send promotional emails about new products, special offers or other information which we think you may find interesting if you opt in to marketing.
