We can provide financial support to businesses that:
- are undertaking capital investment
- create jobs
- do not displace other local businesses
Support is typically in the range of 5% to 35%, and can be in a variety of forms:
- loan
- grant
- equity
- interest relief grant
Financial assistance is offered on a discretionary basis, with each application being considered on its merits. A detailed business plan will be requested, and assessment of the application will include consideration of the following:
- track record of principals
- availability of private sector funding
- market and competition
- job creation
Please note that you should not commit yourself to the project costs prior to a formal AIE decision on assistance as that would disqualify your application.
If you have a capital investment project please contact us |
