Briefing, before you pay

This is what the catalogue says the scheme asks. It is not a score of your chances, and it is not an award.

  • Manufacturing activity in the North West.
  • A defined technology project.
  • You can host a short diagnostic if the round asks for one.

Nothing is saved about the business yet. The writing form keeps it for the next scheme.

Still blank, and left blank on purpose: the business name, what the business does, how many people you employ, turnover and profit, the amount you will request. We do not invent figures, partners or a result.

What you put in

Plan for at least 20% from the business.

How this fits the last check

Run a check with a postcode or a place. This section will then say whether the scheme covers that place, that trade and that size.

Tick these if you can show them

0 of 3 ticked. This stays on the page. It is not an application.

Official source

This row has no scheme page of its own. The link is the public list. Search the name there before you rely on the date or the amount.
