Selective Finance for Investment in England

How much


The amount depends on the needs of the project and its impact on productivity and skills. Successful businesses typically receive around 10-15% of a project's total eligible capital expenditure but support can vary widely either side of these figures depending on the need and quality of the project. There is a minimum application threshold of £10,000 assistance. Grant is normally calculated as a proportion of eligible capital investment. However, where this expenditure is insufficient, grant may be assessed against new jobs created.

Funds are normally payable in instalments on reaching fixed capital expenditure and job targets, which are set out in a formal offer of support.
