Grants for Business offer to double your money
You may have been thinking about expanding your business for some time, but access to funds has been holding you back. New machinery or equipment could make a big difference to your efficiency or market position.
The Lewisham Business Advisory Service has recently launched a new grants scheme to help businesses make the most of potential growth opportunities when coming out of the recession, by matching your investment like for like. The grants are aimed primarily at manufacturing businesses, the creative sector and B2B companies.
