Micro-Grants
Small micro-grants of £200 are made available to cover essential startup business costs for clients. This can be spent on things like business insurance, branding and logo design, web hosting and domain purchase, accountancy, business registration, and tools
Free Advertorials
Excluded entrepreneurs are invited to be featured in our magazine and digital platforms. With this, they can grow their business reach and embed themselves more in the local community. A large proportion of the entrepreneurs we support struggle to use social media making these advertorials an important part of growing their business.
Branded digital Showcase
PODTech, our parent company offers free digital training to excluded entrepreneurs in Oxfordshire. However, the client group we support may lack the skills or finance to run and maintain their own website. REACH offers a free digital showcase for these individuals to take their business online.
