Who is eligible?
To be considered for support
Applicants must:

For some grants, applicants will also need to show that their monthly income does not meet their monthly expenses.
One-off and personal development grants do not require this, but applicants must demonstrate that they are unable to afford the item or service being requested.
What do we mean by the Business Supplies Industry?
BBSC supports people who have worked for businesses whose main activities are within the business supplies sector.
This includes companies primarily involved in:
- – stationery

It can also include businesses such as vendors and wholesalers supplying other products through traditional business supplies reseller channels, as well as organisations working within the industry’s trade press or providing industry-specific business software.
