Capital Grants and Funding.

Capital funding provides businesses with funding for tangible assets—such as equipment, machinery, facilities, and infrastructure—that drive growth and operational improvement. These investments often lead to increased capacity, improved efficiency, and new job creation.

The grants listed below are currently open to applications, though eligibility criteria and geographic restrictions apply. We've organised them by region to help you quickly find opportunities relevant to your location.

Understanding the Funding Types

  • 🟦Grants (Blue): Non-repayable—unless the funding is used outside the agreed terms.

  • 🟥 Loan Schemes (Red): These must be repaid under the scheme’s terms.

  • 🟩 Equity Schemes (Green): An investor provides funding in exchange for an equity stake in your business.
