Am I eligible for support?
The funds will support small and medium sized enterprises (SMEs) who are planning to invest in the range of activities detailed above. An SME is a company which employs fewer than 250 persons (full time equivalent), and has a turnover of less than 50 million Euros and/or has an annual balance sheet of less than 43 million Euros. No more than 25% of the company's capital or voting rights may be held by a parent company which is not itself an SME.
In order to comply with EU state aid regulations Chorley Council is unable to provide financial support to companies in the transport sector, or those involved in the production of agricultural equipment.
Please note: An offer of grant assistance from the Chorley BIG scheme must be in place before you commence or pay for any works that you require grant funding for. The BIG grant is not available retrospectively to fund work which has already been carried out and/or paid for.
