Funding and business support open in the North West: October 2026

When October 2026 ended, 335 schemes were listed for businesses in the North West: 65 for the region or part of it, 5 for the whole North and 265 across England or the UK.

In October, no scheme for the region or the North opened or closed. 1 closes in November 2026.

Listed took in 53 schemes that were only for one part of the North West, such as a single combined authority or council area. Without them, 282 were open to every business there.

Counted on 1 Nov 2026, after the month ended. These figures stay as they are. How they are counted.

How these figures are counted

Local Landscape gathers funding and business support from public web pages every night. These figures count the schemes on the site that businesses can apply for, as the funding list shows them: those with a Local Landscape rating under 6 are left out.

Listed means open, opening soon, or open with its status not yet confirmed, and a scheme stays listed until the end of its closing day. A scheme is for the region when it names the North West or a place in it, and for the whole North when it names the North. National schemes (20 opened and 30 closed in October) are counted but not listed by name. Opened and closed go by each scheme's own dates, as its official pages give them.

Listed is not the same as open to every business. Schemes only for one part of the North West, such as a single combined authority or council area, are listed here too. The area page for the North West counts only what every business there can apply for, and lists the rest under each part.

The details are gathered automatically and only some have been checked by a person. If you quote a figure, please link to this page.
