More funding available in East of England

We are writing a series of blogs to highlight relevant funding to businesses and employees in the East of England.  Aside from R2R and the Leadership and Management Fund, a new fund for business in Cambridgeshire and Peterbrough has been announced.

The Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Growth Fund (CPGF) is designed to provide one-off financial support for businesses and social enterprises looking to safeguard or create new jobs as part of their business growth plans.The CPGF entitles eligible beneficiaries to claim back up to 50% of the cost of their agreed business support activity up to a maximum value of £10,000.

It is aimed specifically at SMEs (small and medium sized businesses) in the following sectors:

• Biomedical
• Cleantech
• High Value Manufacturing
• ICT
• Tourism
• Food Processing
• Creative Industries
• Social Enterprise

Information on how to access the scheme is available from Business Link East – it is a "busy" website so we recommend you speak to someone on 08457 17 16 15.
