Invest4 is a Grant Fund Scheme now open

Funded by the European Regional Development Agency (ERDF) the Invest4 Grant Fund Scheme forms one strand of the six strand Business Hot House Business Support Programme that is part funded by the ERDF. Through the Invest4 Grant Fund, funding may be available to assist the growth of your business.

The grants are:

• Start-up Grants £2,000 to £5,000 (a start-up is pre-trading or under 12 months old)

• Small Grants from £2,000 to £5,000

• Full Grants from £5,000 to de minimis limits (c. £170,000, subject to fluctuation in exchange rates from Euros)

The grants can currently provide up to 40% of eligible costs on projects that will create growth in the business. The Invest4 grant programme can fund both revenue and capital projects, but there are a number of exceptions.
