Catalyst For Business

Funding Entrepreneurs

The Catalyst funded initiative was launched to offer up to 50% funding, up to a maximum of £2,000, for IT and internet projects. To date the project delivered over 120 projects to businesses across the region with the help and hard work of over 80 Catalyst-approved suppliers (details of which are available on supplier matrix).

The first phase of the Catalyst project has now closed and we will not be part-funding any further ICT projects.

We are however, developing a second phase of activity to assist and support the region's businesses and details of these future activities will be available on this website very soon. In the meantime, please feel free to follow the links below to: enterprises.

Despite the difficulties there are many opportunities to be found in turbulent markets, as older established players faultier, human resources are released and shaken up and with the speed that Information technology is changing the business environments these opportunities are increasing.

Catalyst for Business has funded a variety of different projects which were decided upon because of their perceived potential to work and grow. Examples of companies we have helped include an air duct cleaning business, electronic component sales, security company and many more. Without the initial support they needed many businesses would’ve found it difficult to begin their ventures.
