It will elevate businesses to a point where they can either start to trade overseas or scale up their export operations to new markets.
Greater Manchester Export Loan Fund - £2.5M revolving loan fund providing short-term trade finance to companies who have been refused export finance elsewhere. It will provide short-term working capital to enable companies to fulfil export orders.
All eligible companies will also be referred to UK Trade & Investment North West for additional information, advice and support regarding international trade.
Who is eligible?
Small and Medium sized enterprises within the manufacturing sector, although other sectors may be considered where there is a strong case for support
Businesses located within the 10 Greater Manchester Local Authorities
Applications must demonstrate how the funding will both create/safeguard jobs and increase international activity
Grant funded Projects must be completed and funding claimed by May 2017 at the latest
Projects must create Private Sector Leverage. The Programme must achieve an overall public to private leverage ratio of 1 to 4.
