UK regional funding guide
Liverpool City Region business grants and support routes
A Liverpool City Region funding enquiry should begin with the investment site, business challenge and current combined-authority support. A Liverpool city address is only one possible geography within the wider region.

What FundingLens helps you do
Keep source facts, caveats and next actions together so your team can decide what deserves attention before application work starts.
Use the Combined Authority's official business information to find the current delivery partner, rather than relying on an old programme brand. Record whether the support is regional, borough-specific or tied to a particular sector or investment outcome.
Prepare an investment summary showing productivity, employment or decarbonisation outcomes and separate the finance sought from advice or training needs. For premises projects, check tenure and permissions before assuming a capital cost can be supported.
If an older page mentions the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, check the named delivery programme's current status. England's 2026 Local Growth Fund settlement is not a UK-wide replacement grant application and must not be applied to Scotland or Wales. Keep announcements, authority allocations and applicant offers separate.
Readiness checks
- Site and relevant borough recorded.
- Current delivery partner confirmed.
- Investment outcomes and premises evidence ready.
- Current scheme page saved with the date checked.
- Written approval obtained before expenditure where required.
Eligibility caveats
- This is a route-finding guide, not a claim that a grant is open today.
- Funding availability, delivery boundaries and deadlines can change.
- Confirm award conditions and subsidy treatment with the actual awarding body.
