If you're a small business owner money is probably one of your biggest concerns.

At Stepclever we have our own grant funding available until December 2011, but as time is running out for applications enquire NOW to see if you qualify.

There are lots of different funding options for your business, and we can help you figure out what suits you best. You may be able to access our ‘Tier 3 Funding: the details below explain a little more.

Stepclever Tier 3 Funding

How much? Up to £20k for Capital* Up to £10k for Revenue*

Who's it for? Existing businesses based in the Stepclever area* (employing no more than 250 employees) trading for more than 12 months.

There are 2 pots of funding available:

(i) Capital - part funding of up to 45% (in exceptional cases 55%) of costs for capital expenditure that will aid in improving efficiencies in the business and look towards creating jobs e.g. new piece of machinery, IT hardware, building works.

(ii) Revenue - 100% of costs of one-off revenue expenditure that will help create jobs. NB this fund will not support ongoing revenue costs such as utility bills, rent or business rates.

How does it work? We provide support with filling in the application form and with the production of a business plan to supply with the application.

Amount of funding received will be linked to the creation of jobs and how much contribution the business is making towards the expenditure.

Grants are approved by an Investment Steering group, which is made up of representatives from local businesses.
