New Grant Fund available for Chesterfield businesses

Chesterfield and North Derbyshire businesses can now apply for grants towards capital and revenue projects.

The Derbyshire Business Support Grant Scheme offers funding from between £2,000 and £50,000, which are available towards Capital or Revenue projects with the aim of supporting businesses to, expand, evolve or relocate, helping to create increased investment, growth and job creation.

Sole Traders, Partnerships, Limited companies and Social Enterprises who are liable or will be liable to pay business rates as part of the grant funded project are able to apply. A maximum of 50% of the total eligible project costs will be available and funding will awarded to support improved productivity, technology, systems, supply chain and skills development within businesses.

Chesterfield businesses wanting to find out more about the funding can attend a drop in session organised by Chesterfield Borough Council’s Innovation Support Project on the 15th November at The University of Derby’s Chesterfield Campus from 9.30 – 12.30. This drop in session will allow businesses to have an initial discussion about the possibilities of funding to help their enterprises achieve the step change they are seeking.

Dom Stevens, Destination Chesterfield Manager said ” It is great to see this new support available for businesses across Derbyshire.  We encourage Chesterfield businesses to attend the drop in session to find out more about how they can use this funding to support the growth of their business.”

The fund opened for applications in September 2018 and will run until the 31st March 2020.
