Norfolk Business Growth Fund

Description

Discretionary capital grants of £5,000-£50,000, covering up to 30% of eligible project costs (minimum project size roughly £16,667), for Norfolk businesses pursuing a growth project — a unique market offer, export development, productivity improvement, or attracting further investment into the area. Delivered by Norfolk County Council through the New Anglia Growth Hub, with priority given to clean energy, agri-food, life sciences, advanced manufacturing, digital technology and financial services, plus rural and coastal businesses, and to applicants that have not received public grant support in the past three years.

Eligibility summary

• Available in: England.
• Applicant must be a registered business.

Notes

A New Anglia Growth Hub adviser assesses eligibility and helps develop the application before submission — there is no separate self-service application form. Distinct from the Suffolk Economy Grant (the equivalent scheme for Suffolk businesses, also in this directory) and from single-district rural grants already covered at council level (e.g. the West Norfolk Rural Business Capital Grant Scheme).

Requirement

Norfolk-based business with a viable growth project aligned to Norfolk's Local Growth Plan, able to fund at least 70% of total project costs itself; minimum grant £5,000 implies a minimum project size of roughly £16,667.
