The deadline is looming for female startup founders in Leicestershire to apply for a grant.

Five grants of £500 are available to women of all ages, backgrounds and business types (must be at startup stage) as part of the She Inspires Seed Funding initiative.

Back in March four women received grants as part of the first round of funding. It included a dog treat company based in Melton, a fitness and health care for teens business in Leicester, a gluten-free bakery in Rearsby and an educational service based in Loughborough for teens and young people.

The deadline to apply in this second round is 23rd August.
