The Fund, part of a 10 point Business Confidence Plan announced by First Minister Carwyn Jones,  is split into two tranches with £2m allocated for smaller projects with grants ranging from £5,000 to £25,000 and £3m allocated for larger capital investment projects with grants ranging from £50,000 up to £500,000\.  

  

Both funds formally launch today, with applications for the small fund open until January 2017 while expressions of interest for the larger fund will be accepted up to 17 October 2016 when projects representing the best value for money will be invited to apply for funding.  

  

Cabinet Secretary Ken Skates said: 



> “Our priority is creating  and protecting   jobs and supporting business growth and we are doing everything in our power to maintain economic confidence – this means building a strong and competitive business environment in Wales that can support future growth.
> 
> 
> “The Fund is one of a number of proactive confidence building measures we have launched to help businesses across Wales invest in projects that will create and safeguard jobs and support the growth of the economy.
> 
> 
> “The Fund is open to all SME businesses in Wales and the main aim is to create and safeguard jobs. Priority will be given to businesses looking to export and to companies creating high value jobs paying above the Welsh national average wage.”


The small fund is currently accepting applications and is anticipated to support around 200 businesses with the potential to create and safeguard between 800\- 1200 jobs within the 2016\-17 financial year.  

  

Businesses applying for the larger discretionary fund will need to show they will be able to raise the majority of funding from the private sector and projects will need to be completed by March 2018\.

Mae’r Gronfa, sy’n rhan o Gynllun 10 pwynt i godi hyder busnesau a gyhoeddwyd gan y Prif Weinidog Carwyn Jones, wedi’i rhannu’n ddwy ran. Caiff £2m ei neilltuo i brosiectau llai a fydd yn derbyn grantiau o rhwng £5,000 a £25,000 a chaiff £3 miliwn ei neilltuo i brosiectau buddsoddi cyfalaf mawr a fydd yn derbyn grantiau o rhwng £50,000 a £500,000\.  
  
Caiff dwy ran y Gronfa eu lansio’n ffurfiol heddiw, a bydd modd cyflwyno cais am grant gan y gronfa lai hyd fis Ionawr 2017\. Bydd datganiadau o ddiddordeb ar gyfer y gronfa fwy yn cael eu derbyn hyd 17 Hydref 2016\. Bydd y prosiectau sy’n cynrychioli’r gwerth gorau am arian yn derbyn gwahoddiad i gyflwyno cais am gyllid.   
  
Dywedodd Ysgrifennydd y Cabinet, Ken Skates: 


> “Ein blaenoriaeth ni yw creu a diogelu swyddi a chefnogi twf busnesau. Rydym yn gwneud popeth posibl i gynnal hyder economaidd – sy’n golygu creu amgylchedd cadarn a chystadleuol ar gyfer busnesau yng Nghymru a all gefnogi twf yn y dyfodol.  
> 
> “Mae’r Gronfa hon yn un o nifer o fesurau blaengar yr ydym wedi’u lansio er mwyn ennyn hyder a helpu busnesau ar draws Cymru i fuddsoddi mewn prosiectau. Y nod yw creu a diogelu swyddi a hefyd hybu twf yr economi.
> 
> “Mae’r Gronfa ar gael i holl fusnesau bach a chanolig Cymru a’r prif nod yw creu a diogelu swyddi. Caiff blaenoriaeth ei rhoi i fusnesau sy’n awyddus i allforio ac i gwmnïau sy’n creu swyddi uchel eu gwerth a all gynnig cyflog uwchlaw’r cyflog cyfartalog cenedlaethol.”

Mae’r gronfa lai’n derbyn ceisiadau ar hyn o bryd a rhagwelir y bydd yn cefnogi oddeutu 200 o fusnesau. Mae disgwyl iddi hefyd greu a diogelu rhwng 800 a 1200 o swyddi yn ystod blwyddyn ariannol 2016\-17\.   
  
Bydd angen i’r busnesau sy’n cyflwyno cais am grant o’r gronfa ddisgresiynol fwy ddangos y bydd modd iddynt godi’r rhan fwyaf o’r cyllid o’r sector preifat. Bydd angen i’r holl brosiectau fod ar ben erbyn mis Mawrth 2018\.
