Tata transition business support

The Supply Chain Transition Fund is currently paused to new enquiries while applications are reviewed.

If you are based in Neath Port Talbot and experiencing a downturn in your business and wish to develop plans to turn to new markets or customers, please email business@npt.gov.uk so we can provide advice on accessing alternate finance.

If you are based elsewhere in Wales, please contact Business Wales by calling their Helpline on 03000 6 03000.

Grants of £1,000 up to £20,000 are available to help Tata Steel and other workers in the supply chain across Wales affected by the transition to support retraining or the learning of new skills for the employment market.

Grants of up to £50,000 to support affected individuals in the Tata Steel UK supply chain and Tata Steel UK employees (including direct family members living within the same household) that:

• want to start their own business or become self-employed
• may already be running a small/early stage business

There will be a partnership approach to delivering start-up support, with Neath Port Talbot Council administering the grant fund and Welsh Government’s Business Wales service providing advice and other specialist support.

If you are considering starting a new business, self-employment or are already operating a small business, email Business Wales on selfemployment@businesswales.org or visit https://businesswales.gov.wales/business-wales-support-tata-steel-transition so you can start receiving advice and register for the grant.
