Below is a brief list of public sector support available from
other agencies. There are very few grant schemes at the moment and
new businesses should not rely on grants to help them start up
their business.
Do you need funding for a large capital investment such as purchase
of land or buildings, installation of large machinery or new
processes? Selective Finance for Investment in
England is a discretionary scheme designed to support
businesses intending to make investments in order to
grow.
The primary objective of this scheme is to drive growth in the East
of England's businesses by improving productivity and creating or
safeguarding skilled jobs.
Grants will, on average, cover 7.5 per cent to 15 per cent of the
project's total cost. £10,000 is the minimum grant value available.

make a prototype or run a feasibility study? Then the

significant amount of funding to help you. For further information
