Programme Details

Grants

The Low Carbon Business Programme has £1.38 million of grants funds available to award to SMEs in the Thames Gateway South Essex region (click HERE to find out if you business is within our programme territory) over the lifetime of the programme.

Grants are available for both capital and revenue expenditure.

Capital Grant
A grant awarded for a specific single purpose, e.g. the purchase of a new low energy printer or the purchase and installation of a bio-mass burner.

Revenue Grant
A grant awarded over a period of time, comprising periodic payments, e.g. monthly payments to subsidise the cost of an apprentice environmental officer or a fixed period grant to assist with lease payments on a green printer.

Business Green Audits

How sustainable is your business? Could you be running the business with a lower bottom-line operating cost by looking at your carbon consumption?

To find out, contact us for a free business audit; depending on the size of your business, this will take between 20 minutes to an hour and will uncover up to 25 areas where you might be able to reduce your operating costs and your carbon footprint, often with no- or low cost solutions and/or actions.

Other Services

In addition to the above, we can provide you with signposting to other forms of support (both financial and intellectual); we can provide a certain level of consultancy and access to specialist consultancy around many business sectors; we have access to numerous networks, both public and private sector, to support your supply chain ambitions… and much more.

For more details, please contact any member of the Programme Management Team.
