New Small Equipment Grant from the Marches Local Enterprise Partnership

An £800,000 programme which could help businesses as they plan their recovery from the coronavirus lockdown has been launched across Herefordshire, Shropshire and Telford & Wrekin.

Grants of up to £10,000 are available under The Marches Small Equipment Grant (SEG), which is open to companies which sell products or services to other businesses. Eligible projects must lead to the creation of at least one part time job within six months or the creation of a new product or service to be used by other businesses.

The scheme, which is part funded by the European Regional Development Fund and supported by the Marches Local Enterprise Partnership and Marches Growth Hub – is part of a £3million funding package which also includes the Marches Building Investment Grant (MBIG).
