BIG Productivity can support up to 45% of a project’s cost for small businesses, and up to 35% for medium businesses – with funding ranging from £2,500 to a maximum of £150,000. The fund has a simple, easy-to-approach application process that can be completed in its online portal. The process involves two key stages (Expression of Interest and Full Application). The Application form is divided into 4 distinctive parts: Part one: Describe your project, and how the fund will help you increase productivity within your business. Part two: Provide an accurate summary of how much your project is going to cost, with quotes from your suppliers. Part three: Show how the project will fit within your financial profile, and prove you have the funds you need to commit to the investment. Part four: Share your equal opportunities and sustainability policies to see if you meet BIG Productivity’s eligibility standards. If you’re a startup that doesn’t have these policies in place yet, BIG Productivity can signpost you to obtain support. The length of time between the application and funding awarded depends on the quality of information provided during the application process.
