Swansea's Founders & Co is offering a business the chance to use its venue for free

Step inside Founders & Co. and you will find a vintage clothing store, a barbers, lots of tasty street food vendors and a bar and coffee shop to top it all off. And to help ease the pressures of the cost of living crisis, this hub for local business is now offering one lucky winner a support package which will help their business grow in Swansea.

The package includes a cash prize of £500, mentoring from one of the top directors of Revolution Bars Group and the chance to use Founders & Co. as a base to host regular pop-ups and take advantage of their free event spaces for workshops. The winner will also get a free PR and marketing package and even a free food and drinks party package so their team can let their hair down without having to foot the bill.

Founders & Co., which opened in July last year, is looking to help businesses across Swansea and nearby areas but businesses anywhere in Wales can apply. All you have to do is nominate the business you think deserves it!

Jamie McGowan, corporate and new concepts manager at Founders & Co., said that it has never been more important to support small businesses who make up the backbone of the British industry. “Our ethos at Founders & Co. has always been to champion start-up establishments, and that’s why we wanted to offer a small helping hand as we approach the winter months, especially in recognition of Small Business Saturday in December, with the launch of our Small Business Support Package," he added.

The competition launched on Thursday, December 1 and applications close on Friday, December 16. Founders & Co are looking to help businesses who have gone the extra mile to support the local community, who have ten employees or fewer and a revenue of £500,000 or less. You can apply here.
