Businesses in the East Riding of Yorkshire are being urged to take advantage of the grant funding support
All of the grants will cover up to a maximum of 50 per cent of the total project costs.
Examples include revenue grants for projects aimed at fuelling the growth of the business, up to a maximum of £5,000. This could help to pay for things like marketing and sales costs, advice from external consultants, fees for events, creating a website or buying software licences.
Carbon reduction grants can cover projects aimed at reducing the carbon footprint of the business. The amount allocated is linked to the level of carbon reduction, with £1,500 on offer for every tonne of CO2 saved, making this type of grant ideal for projects such as the installation of solar panels, wind turbines, energy efficient lighting or boilers, or changes to the fabric of a building aimed at reducing emissions.
Capital grants of up to £5,000 are available for moveable assets and £10,000 for fixed assets, which could help cover the cost of plant and machinery, the purchase of computer equipment or improvements to retail premises.
