capital grants towards investment in equipment and buildings (a
marketing grant is also available for further information contact

calculated based on the growth, in jobs or turnover, expected
by the business from the project.
Small
and medium sized enterprises based in the County, or wishing to
invest here can qualify. The Grant is available to a range of
business types, but particularly specifies those engaged in tourism.
Qualifying expenditure includes premises improvement. Each case
is assessed on its potential value to the local economy. Factors
that are likely to add strength to applications include positive
environmental measures.
Up
to 40% of eligible expenditure is available, generally within
the range of £1,000 to £5,000. Grants in excess of
this can be considered, but only where it can be shown that assistance
