New Grant Available for York & North Yorkshire Businesses: Up to £3K Towards Digital Growth

TL;DR

SMEs in York & North Yorkshire can now apply for a £1K–£3K Digital Adoption Grant to fund new websites, ecommerce features, or bespoke software. You’ll need to match 25% of the cost and finish the project by Feb 2026. Get in touch with Beefound to plan your project and apply before the 14 July 2025 deadline.

If you’re a business owner or social enterprise based in York or North Yorkshire, a new funding opportunity has just launched that could help you transform your digital presence — and it’s well worth knowing about.

What’s on Offer?

The Digital Adoption Grant, now open for applications, offers £1,000 to £3,000 to eligible businesses. It’s designed to support projects that involve creating new digital systems or platforms — not just updates or redesigns.

To qualify, your business must:

  • Have a trading address in York or North Yorkshire
  • Employ fewer than 250 people
  • Provide at least 25% match funding
  • Be able to complete the project by February 2026

This grant is perfect if you’re looking to:

  • Launch your first website for your business
  • Add new functionality to your current site — such as e-commerce, booking systems, customer portals, or interactive tools
  • Implement bespoke software tailored to your operations where no suitable solution currently exists

Important: The grant does not cover updates or cosmetic changes to existing websites — it must be a new system or significant new functionality.

Why This Matters

In 2025, a strong digital presence isn’t a luxury — it’s a necessity. Whether you need an online shop, a smarter way to manage clients, or a whole new platform, this grant could cover a significant portion of the cost.

Deadline to Apply: Monday 14 July 2025, 5pm
