What is a revenue grant?

Having a healthy working capital is critical when growing your business, it’s cash intensive and often full of unexpected challenges.

Our revenue grant is designed to support you to mitigate the cost of commissioning external support that is currently acting as a direct barrier to your business growth.

The grant allowed us to do something we simply wouldn't have been able to do otherwise, even though we needed to grow. It feels like somebody is investing in us because we're worth investing in.

What sort of expertise?

Almost all types of revenue expenditure are eligible, and your growth project can include more than one component/activity. Up to 30% of the total Revenue Grant can also be used to purchase capital equipment. Examples include:

What you need to know

  • How much can I apply for?

    We can contribute up to £20,000 of grant funding, on a 50% match funding basis. This means that the grant will cover 50% of the cost that you would incur when commissioning a professional adviser or consultancy service.

    For example, if a development team supporting you to implement e-commerce functionality to your website will significantly increase your profits and create jobs, and your best quote is £10,000 to implement this work, the Grant will cover a maximum of £5,000.

  • Am I eligible?

    Your business will meet our baseline criteria if you have:

    • From 3 to 249 employees
    • A trading address in Cambridgeshire & Peterborough
    • A balance sheet less than €43m (~£38m)
    • An annual turnover less then €50m (~£44m)
    • Ambition to grow faster or to continue scaling rapidly (~20% year-on-year)*

    There are some other specific requirements that only apply to a small minority of businesses. These are described in the more detailed guidance and will be discussed with you by your dedicated Growth Adviser.

    *We understand that you may have some variances due to COVID, and will consider this when we receive your registration of interest and get started with Growth Works.

     

  • When will the grant be paid?

    Once you receive your official Grant Offer Letter, you can now go and commission the services you need to make it all happen.

    When it’s all complete and you have paid them, just present the evidence of payment to us, and we’ll get this paid as per your Grant Offer Letter.
