The West Midlands Combined Authority is proud to extend its community-led business support programme into 2025/26, building on the success of our April 2024–March 2025 pilot. By partnering with Business Growth West Midlands, local commercial organisations and community groups, we’ll continue to deliver targeted, multi-sector guidance to established businesses right where they are—within their own neighbourhoods.

Over the next year, we’ll deepen our insight into the unique challenges ethnic-minority-led enterprises face when seeking business support. Through ongoing, grassroots engagement, we’ll develop and share practical solutions that break down those barriers—ensuring every local entrepreneur can access the advice and resources they need to thrive. 

Please complete the form below so we can onboard your business and schedule your one-to-one advisory session.
