What is on offer?

The aim of the programme is to support applicants that require financial aid for their projects to proceed, i.e. if funding were not forthcoming the project would not proceed.
The funding is available to meet the financial gap between the construction costs and the completed market value of the property. The incentive on offer is aimed to stimulate the supply of high-quality business premises within Carmarthenshire by offering funding towards high quality industrial units or office accommodation. The maximum funding awarded for each project will be at the discretion of the authority and will not exceed £750k or 45% of the total eligible cost.

This grant cannot be match funded by other public funding.

Eligibility will be determined on a case by case basis.
