SWEF – Enterprise and Business Grants

Young entrepreneurs

Working with Community Foundation Wales the South West Enterprise Fund (SWEF) has been created to support young entrepreneurs (aged 18 to 30) to invest in their business venture and/or support them to take their business to the next level.

The priority for this fund is to support those with less advantage in their early life, who face barriers to investing in their business and who may not be able to generate funding from other sources.

This fund is now open to applications and will close at midday on Monday 19 January 2026.

If you’re 25 or under in Wales, get inspired by entrepreneurs who’ve done it, and turn your idea into reality with advice, workshops, and support. Your idea could be the next big thing! We're here to help: Big Ideas Wales | Big Ideas Wales.
