Exciting News – Antler & Rose Has Been Awarded a Business Grant!
I’m so excited to share that Antler & Rose has been awarded a £2,000 start-up grant through the Build Your Business Programme, funded by the UK Government’s UK Shared Prosperity Fund.
As I take the first steps in launching my business, this support means the world to me. Antler & Rose is built on my passion for art, nature, and sustainability, and my goal is to create beautiful, timeless photography prints, cards, and gift wrap that bring warmth and inspiration into people’s homes.
Being a single mother of three, starting my own business has been both a dream and a challenge. Juggling family life while working hard to build something of my own hasn’t been easy, but this grant is a huge step towards making that dream a reality. When reviewing my business plan, the grant panel recognised the vision behind Antler & Rose and saw the potential in what I’m creating. Knowing that others believe in my business has given me even more confidence to push forward.
Starting a business on my own has been both exciting and overwhelming, but the BIPC Northamptonshire team and West Northamptonshire Council have been incredibly supportive. From guidance and training to this grant funding, their help has given me the confidence and resources to turn my vision into reality.
There’s still plenty of work ahead, but I can’t wait to share more of my journey with you! Stay tuned for updates as I work towards launching Antler & Rose in 2025.
Thank you for being part of this journey – exciting things are coming soon!
