English regions are divided into the nine RDA's as shown above.
Grant Aid (GBI): Grant Aid of more than £2M
is usually referred to the DBERRin London for direct appraisal in consultation
with the relevant regional RDA.
GBI under £2M: Grant Aid of
up £2M
is usually appraised by the GBI section of the relevant RDA in which
the project is to take place.
The minimum grant that can be applied for is £10,000,
so a company will need to be spending between £50,000 and £100,000
to trigger the minimum amount of grant. This will depend on the location
of the project and also the size of the business.
GBI for SME's in Tier 3
areas:For SME's in Tier 3 areas, for example, if a company
employs 200 people and the project is located in a Tier 3 area, it
is eligible to apply for 10% of the project costs as an SFI grant.
So it would need to be spending £100,000
on capital items to trigger the minimum grant.
Wales has similar aid schemes as the English Regions but delivered
through the Welsh Assembly Government as RSA Cymru through the Single
Investment Fund.
Scotland's similar aid schemes in the form of RSA are
delivered by the Scottish Parliament.
Key Grant Areas are:
Tier 1: Articles 87(3)a
Tier 2: Articles 87(3)c
Tier 3: Areas of identified special need agreed with
the European Union in 2007
