Introduction to the Town Deal Enterprise Grant Scheme

Town Deal Funding is part of the government’s national economic regeneration programme. The Enterprise Grant Scheme is a project within the St Ives Town Deal Fund; managed and administered by Cornwall Council in Partnership with the St Ives Town Deal Board. The Enterprise Grant Scheme has been set up to support micro, small and medium-sized organisations, providing capital grants to encourage business start-ups, growth, and diversification that contribute towards the delivery of the Town Investment Plan.
