This support is for pre-starts, start-up’s and existing SME’s in Wyre. It is funded through the Councils 2025 – 2026 UK Shared Prosperity Fund allocation. Both Fylde and Blackpool Councils have also engaged The Small Business Academy, thus providing excellent synergy of business support across the Fylde Coast.
