It is designed to make a difference to the business and add value to the property as well as improving the immediate local area. Improvements should have a life expectancy of 5 years.
- There are many EC and UK grants available, but it is worth bearing in mind that many of these have particular criteria and are limited to organisations involved in specific activities – contact Business Link in London on 020 7010 1000 for more information
