What it is

A grant from Suffolk County Council towards adopting new technology or equipment, innovation or decarbonisation: £2,500 to £10,000 at 50% of costs for micro businesses, £5,000 to £50,000 at 30% for small and £10,000 to £100,000 at 20% for medium-sized firms, for Suffolk businesses registered with Companies House or the Charity Commission (not sole traders) and trading for at least two years.

Checked 9 Nov 2026 on suffolkeconomy.co.uk (Suffolk County Council): the programme runs until 31 March 2027, projects must be finished by then, and funds are limited; a panel decides. It won't pay for website creation, CRM or warehouse systems, or like-for-like laptop or software replacement. Sole traders, banks and insurers, healthcare and care homes, schools, nurseries and childcare, and estate and employment agencies can't apply.
