Cardiff Growth Fund
Cardiff Council
Cardiff Council's Cardiff Growth Fund gives grants of £2,500 to £20,000 to established Cardiff businesses that want to relaunch, develop or grow. It is part of the Local Growth Fund. The funder's website gives no deadline and no opening or closing dates. Contact the council by email for application details. The grant covers 50% of total project spend excluding VAT, or 75% for social enterprises and charities. You need 2 quotes for project spend. Applicants must be a limited company, social enterprise or registered charity with a Cardiff business address. They must have traded for more than 2 years. Sole traders are not eligible. Projects should link with the city's Stronger, Fairer, Greener Recovery Strategy. They should create or safeguard jobs, raise productivity, or widen access and opportunities for local communities. The council will consider applications above £20,000 for strategic projects that create jobs and invest in large capital projects. The fund depends on the council receiving final budget sign off. Do not pay a deposit or commit to buy items before approval.
