2 Who Can Apply

2.1  Likely

Any private business formally constituted as a Company (Limited Company or Limited by Guarantee), or Partnership (constituted through a Partnership Agreement) is eligible to receive grant under the Fund if it operates in one of the following sectors:

  • Construction.
  • Electrical, Gas, Steam, Air Conditioning and Plumbing.
  • Information and Communications.
  • Manufacturing.
  • Professional, Scientific and Technical Activities.
  • Real Estate.
  • Wholesale, Retail and Motor Trade.

Enterprises submitting applications must be registered at Companies House, have a bank account, a governing document, and two or more registered Board Members that are not related or living at the same address.

2.2  Unlikely

The Fund is NOT open to those seeking to develop property where the beneficiaries do not ultimately occupy the facilities created using fund monies. This is NOT a fund to support the private property development market.

The Fund is also NOT open to the region's Local Authorities, or other Public Bodies or Charities.

If you are unsure whether you are eligible to apply, contact the Fund Management Team. They can be contacted by email here growingmidwales@ceredigion.gov.uk.

2.3  Partnerships

We do not anticipate projects generally to be of sufficient scale to involve enterprises entering into partnership with other businesses or third-party bodies to deliver the project. If you do plan to work with another business to carry out a significant proportion of your project you must formalise your relationship with a partnership agreement.

In this instance you will also need to decide which business will be the lead applicant. The lead applicant will complete the application, and if successful, receive the grant and provide project updates. We usually expect the owner of premises to be the lead applicant. If the lead applicant is not the owner some particular grant conditions may be imposed.

Partners are not subcontractors. They will take on an active role in the project and help with reporting, attend regular progress meetings, and provide project evaluation information.
