Level of £ Funding
How much funding do you think
you need? What will it pay for?
Need for RGF support
The Invest to Grow programme is a
combination of loan and grant
funding and is a fund of last resort.
Please outline why you need
support. The Strategic Investment
Panel which makes funding decisions
will determine whether a company is
offered a loan or grant, or a blend of
both.
The Fund is intended to be a recirculating finance scheme to ensure
sustainability beyond the duration of
Regional Growth Fund. Therefore
applications for loans will be judged
favourably compared to grants.
