Anyone wishing to apply for a grant should discuss their proposals with the contact shown on the grant summary sheets in order to determine their eligibility. For example, some grants will regard specific sectors (i.e. retailing) to be ineligible or exclude certain businesses because of their size.
The eligibility criteria for each grant are often not the decision of the body awarding the grant, but the result of restrictions placed upon them by the funding provider (usually the European Union or the Government). For example, the majority of grants are restricted to micro (1-9) employees, small (10-49) and medium (50-249) sized enterprises, frequently referred to by the acronym SMEs.
The availability of grant assistance is constantly changing, so please enquire before proceeding with a proposed investment. Retrospective applications (i.e. for any investment that has been made prior to a grant application being submitted) are not eligible for grant assistance.
