We have years of experience advising our members on opportunities to help their business grow and as a member of Eastbourne Chambers you can gain access to specific funding advice as soon as we hear about it. The best places to look for currently available grants are:

East Sussex County Council Grants - Head to the East Sussex County Website for information on custom grants and funding for your business.

3VA Organisation has details of the latest grants available for community projects. They can also help you bid for these grants.

Export Advice - If you are a business that exports overseas it can often be daunting. Maybe you need more information on how to make sure you get paid, or what documentation do you need, or finding out about specific legislations in different countries. We can offer you expert advice and put you in touch with business leaders and UKTI's who can answer your questions and share their experience.
