Business Funding
Starting or growing a business will often require some form of business funding which could mean seeking a grant or a loan. Funding sources to consider include investors, grants, business bank loans and local authority funding. More recently, there have been a growing number of enterprises looking to alternative methods of business investment, such as crowdfunding.
We have close links with organisations that provide funding for small businesses, and we can advise you on the availability of funding across Devon. One of our experienced advisers, either on a commercial basis, or through one of our funded projects (depending on availability) can work closely with you to get your business ready and submit a strong application for funding.
Grant funding for small businesses in Devon varies greatly depending on a number of factors such as business type, industry and location.
Recent funding projects have put emphasis on rural businesses that are able to demonstrate that they will strengthen the local economy, create employment and support business growth.
Please see below for information on any local business funding.
