Funded by Fife Council and delivered by Business Gateway Fife, the Fife Investment Fund provides financial support to Fife-based businesses looking to invest in and grow their business or reduce their carbon emissions to reach net zero.

The fund offers a fully repayable grant of up to £10,000, or 70% of the overall costs of the project being undertaken (whichever is lower). The terms and conditions of the fund include:

• no interest or any other charges
• an initial payment holiday of 6 months
• up to 24 months to fully repay the grant following the initial payment holiday

The funding can be used in a number of ways, including:

• purchasing plants and machinery
• property improvements
• product development
• process improvements
• training
• market development

You may be eligible if you are a small to medium-sized business (SME) based in Fife and can demonstrate that the support will lead to increased turnover and/or employment for your business, or help it progress toward net zero emissions. Applications are submitted at the discretion of your Business Gateway Adviser.

This is a free service.

Small to medium-sized businesses based in Fife that aim to invest in and grow their business, or reduce their carbon emissions.

Applications can normally be approved within a week.
