COVID-19: Capital Grant Scheme up to £150K for businesses in our area
8th April 2020James Palmer, the Cambridgeshire & Peterborough Mayor has introduced a new Covid-19 Capital Grant Scheme.
Grants available are from£2,000 to £150,000 for new capital investments to help companies buy new equipment, build extensions, update production lines, IT and for upgrading logistics during these difficult times.
The capital investment grant is to help qualifying companies in the region survive at this time and bounce back stronger in the future.
Your project should be something that will support a specific sector which is suffering due to the restrictions of the COVID 19 virus. For example we have already seen how restaurants are now delivering meals to their customers and to the more vulnerable at this time.
