Matched funding to grow your business
If you want to improve your business, MAS can provide practical help - and matched funding!
The Manufacturing Advisory Service is looking for manufacturers who want to grow their business. We can help you define a project to achieve this and provide matched funding to bring in the required specialist knowledge.
Provided your proposed project has a definable business benefit, MAS can provide up to 50% towards the cost. On average, the grants are around £1,500 per project and your company can engage in 3 projects each year.
In broad terms, the funding can be used for consultancy to:
* develop business strategy to improve sales and commercial performance
* identify new sales channels
* instigate or progress New Product Development
* implement efficiency improvements
* provide in-company training on an advanced manufacturing process or technology
* support ISO9000, 9001 or 14001 implementation
* develop IPR protection, such as patent applications
This is not an exhaustive list, and we will consider any project where you need specialist knowledge to grow the business.
We're very aware that the last thing a small company needs is excessive bureaucracy, so we've made the application process as simple as possible. You also have a free choice in the consultant you choose, although you can select from the MAS Supplier Database.
* There is a simple application form to complete
* The supplier you choose needs to register on the MAS Supplier Database if not already registered
* The funding decision is made normally made in a matter of days
Steve Sharp, your local MAS Advisor will help you through the process from beginning to end, answer any questions and work with the supplier to make the process as straightforward as possible.
