Business grants and loans available in East Sussex

East Sussex Invest Eight provides loans and grants to businesses looking to expand and grow in the county.

The programme was established in 2013 by East Sussex County Council (ESCC) supported by the Regional Growth Fund (RGF) and delivered by ESCC in partnership with Locate East Sussex.

Since it started, 247 businesses have benefited from nearly £9m in funding resulting in the creation of at least 1,065 jobs.

Cllr Simmons, the cabinet member for economy at ESCC and the chairman of the Grants and Loans panel since it started, said: “I am delighted that we can continue to support businesses in the county particularly after such a difficult period.
