13 April 2016

News from Welsh Government:

New Repayable Fund offers repayable finance of between £50,000 and £500,000 to SMEs to help them grow and create jobs. The fund is focused on supporting businesses within the Welsh Government key sectors, which are:

  • Advanced materials and manufacturing
  • Construction
  • Creative industries
  • Energy and environment
  • Financial and professional services
  • Information communication and technology

You will need to demonstrate a need for funding.
