The fund will provide grants of up to 40% of the total project value (restrictions apply), please check our eligibility checklist of further details.

How can Investment for Growth help your business?

It provides:

- A direct route to financial assistance to help you improve and grow your business.

- Access to an experienced business adviser, to support and guide you through the whole process.

- Investment for projects which will result in the safeguarding or creating of jobs.

- Assistance in finding the right service provider, through the Service Provider Register.

Tracey Watson, Senior project manager said: “Every eligible business which gets in touch will be assigned a dedicated advisor who will work with them through the process. The team of advisors are incredibly experienced and well-placed to offer guidance and invaluable advice.

But of course every businesses needs are different and the advisers will give as much or as little support as is needed.

“The fund is here to help the region’s business community and we’ve already seen a lot of interest. It’s a real opportunity for the region’s businesses to access funding to help them grow.”
