A SHORT film has been produced to make it even easier for companies in Worcestershire and Herefordshire to apply for free business support and grants of up to £10,000.

Helen Hunter-Hayes, project officer for the Eureka! Moment scheme, said: "The Eureka! Moment is a fantastic opportunity for businesses to get an extra boost. If you’re planning any kind of change or project investment, talk to us and find out if you’re eligible for support.”

The film outlines how small to medium sized enterprises can participate in the Eureka! Moment and explains exactly what they can expect to receive as a result of their participation. Run by Shropshire Council, it is estimated that thousands of businesses in Worcestershire, Herefordshire, Staffordshire and Shropshire could be eligible for the Eureka! Moment scheme, which is financed by the European Regional Development Fund. This has identified Shropshire, Staffordshire, Herefordshire and Worcestershire as rural areas that need an extra boost. The scheme is completely free to participating businesses.
