1 Capital Grant Scheme application guidelines 1. Purpose This guidance is designed to support you in completing the application form for the Capital Grant Scheme. If you require further assistance you may telephone or us as follows: Tel: It is important that all information provided is accurate and given in as much detail as possible, as failure to do so may result in the application being declined or delays in the assessment process. 2. Background The Capital Grant Scheme is part of the Tees Valley Business Support Scheme. The scheme is delivered by BE Group in partnership with UNW LLP, on behalf of the SSI Taskforce and Tees Valley Unlimited. Funding for the scheme is provided by the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills, via Stocktonon-Tees Borough Council. The scheme provides grant support to eligible businesses (see Section 5 below) to undertake capital investment projects involving eligible expenditure (also see Section 5 below) which are designed to expand or diversify the business, leading to sustainable growth and the creation of employment. Applicants may receive grant offers provided they meet the eligibility and assessment criteria outlined below. Decisions to award or not to award grants are at the absolute discretion of BE Group, in consultation with Tees Valley Unlimited and other public sector bodies that may be appropriate, and there is no obligation on BE Group to provide grants. Applicants must in all cases provide a convincing explanation of why a grant is required to enable the project which is the subject of the grant application to go ahead. Applications may be rejected where there is evidence to suggest that the project could go ahead without grant support. 3. Application process Grant applications may be submitted by the business that requires the grant or by a professional advisor on their behalf. If submitted by a professional advisor, we will also require a primary contact at the business that requires the grant. Businesses may apply to the Capital Grant Scheme more than once. Where a grant offer has already been made, second and subsequent applications will only be accepted if the project which was the subject of the first application has been successfully delivered or is on 1

2 schedule, with all milestones and outputs specified within the grant offer letter either already met or on schedule to be met. Decisions to award or not to award grants are at the absolute discretion of BE Group, in consultation with Tees Valley Unlimited and other public sector bodies that may be appropriate. Applications will be assessed against the criteria set out in Section 9 below and all applications will follow a four stage process, as follows: Stage 1: Applications must be made using the Capital Grant Scheme application form available on the following web link: Hand written application forms cannot be accepted. Application forms must be fully completed and must be accompanied by all of the supporting information specified on the application form. Applications will not progress to stage 2 of the process until all the required information has been received by BE Group. Stage 2: Applications will be assessed by BE Group (and UNW LLP chartered accountants, in the case of applications from SSI UK supply chain companies for grants of 50,000 and over). Applicants will be contacted by telephone for any clarification which may be required and in some cases a visit may be arranged. Stage 3: Applications will be considered by an Investment Panel comprising senior representatives of the Tees Valley business community, senior staff of BE Group, Tees Valley Unlimited and UNW LLP, with representation from the Department for Business, Innovation and Skills in an observer role. Stage 4: Applicants will be notified of the outcome of their application by and a grant offer letter will be issued to successful applicants. Applications may be rejected at either Stage 2 or Stage 3 above if either the business or the proposed project or activity or both are deemed to be ineligible or if the assessment criteria outlined in Section 9 below are deemed not to have been met, based on the information provided by the applicant. Decisions to award or not to award grants are at the absolute discretion of BE Group and are final. There is no right of appeal, but applicants may re-submit an application in certain circumstances (see Section 10 below). If you have not already done so, we strongly advise you to telephone our helpline on before completing an application form. This will enable us to establish your eligibility for the scheme before you commit time to filling in the application form. 4.

Eligibility 5.1 The scheme may be used to support businesses in most manufacturing sectors of the economy and service sector businesses which offer more than a local service. Businesses in the agriculture and fisheries sectors are not eligible (see Section 8 below). Businesses in the road freight transport sector are eligible for lower levels of funding than other eligible sectors (see Section 8 below). Where the business operates wholly or mainly within a local market, the applicant must demonstrate that the proposed project will have no negative effects on competitors. 5.2 Retail projects (including online retail) are not eligible for support. 5.3 Projects seeking a grant must be designed to achieve sustainable business growth by the applicant company, leading to the creation of at least two new jobs or the safeguarding of at least two existing jobs that would otherwise be lost within the applicant company. 5.4 Projects must comply with the De minimis aid regulation (see Section 8 below). 5.5 Projects must involve capital investment in tangible assets to grow the business and lead to new jobs or the safeguarding of existing jobs that would otherwise be lost. 5.6 Certain types of revenue expenditure may be included within applications, up to a maximum of 20% of the total eligible project expenditure, where this revenue expenditure relates directly to the investment project and the employment impacts, and where it also helps to enable the business growth. 5.7 Project assets acquired with the grant may be new or second-hand, but must be acquired from a third party unrelated to the business making the grant application. Assets acquired (including by leasing) from a supplier that is directly connected to or part of the business s own business (including a holding company or a subsidiary company); and/or whose directors, employees or advisers are engaged directly or indirectly with the business are not eligible. 5.8 Projects must not have commenced before a grant application is submitted to BE Group and no expenditure must be committed to or defrayed until a grant offer has been issued by BE Group. 3

Levels of grant support available The scheme will provide a maximum contribution of 50% of the eligible project expenditure in the case of former SSI UK supply chain companies, or a maximum of 30% in all other cases.

5 8. State Aid Grants awarded through the scheme are State aid and are awarded under the De minimis aid regulation (EU Commission Regulation no. 1407/2013 of 18 December 2013 on the application of Articles 107 and 108 of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union). This regulation imposes certain restrictions on which are applicable to this Scheme, as follows: 8.1 Businesses in the agriculture and fisheries sectors are not eligible. Business in the road freight transport sector are eligible for lower levels of funding than other eligible sectors; 8.2 The maximum funding any business can receive is 200,000 over a 3-year fiscal period ( 100,000 in the road freight transport sector). The Sterling equivalent is calculated using the European Commission exchange rate applicable on the date of the grant offer letter; 8.3 The above ceilings apply to the total amount of De Minimis aid to a business (or group in the case of businesses which are not autonomous). Applicants to this Scheme are required to declare all public funding received during the previous 5 years and to specify how much of this was De minimis aid received during the previous 3 fiscal years; 8.4 When offering a grant through this Scheme, BE Group must ensure that the new award does not breach the applicable ceiling, taking into account all De minimis aid received by the applicant during the previous 3 fiscal years. Grant offer letters issued by BE Group will specify the amount of De minimis aid being offered. BE Group must keep records of all De minimis aid paid for 10 years from the last payment. Beneficiaries must keep records of De minimis aid received for 3 years and must declare this when required to do so by other grant giving bodies. For further information, please read the De minimis regulation: 9.

Applicants must demonstrate that a grant is required for the proposed project or activity to go ahead and must explain why this is the case.
