Invest to Grow
Invest to Grow is a programme designed to support private sector businesses, predominantly in the form of loan funding, to grow and create jobs.
- Grants or loans – according to the needs of the business – are available for up to 30% of the cost of investment to help create long term sustainable job growth. The business has to find private sector funding for at least 70% of the project cost.
- Minimum award size is £15k, so the minimum project cost is likely to be £50k. Maximum award size is £250k although higher awards can be considered for projects which offer exceptional value for money.
- The programme is aimed at priority growth sectors such as Transport Equipment Manufacturing, Life Sciences, Construction, Food & Drink Manufacturing, Logistics, Low Carbon and Creative Industries.
- The project must be located in the East Midlands.
