Grants are available for independent music companies to showcase UK music projects abroad.

The Music Export Growth Scheme makes grants available to UK-registered independent music companies to assist them with marketing campaigns when looking to introduce successful UK music projects overseas.

Grants ranging from £5,000 to £50,000 are available. The programme can contribute a maximum of 70% of the necessary costs.

Grants are intended to fund international marketing campaigns that aim to expand audience and revenues for British artists overseas.

Expenditure to be taken into account will be external costs to the label or management, not normal running costs.

The next deadline for applications is 2 September 2022 (23:59 BST).
