What is the focus of the Fund?

The £20m Growth Fund has been set up to help ambitious companies that are looking to expand and create new jobs across the North East to achieve their goals.

Investments are usually from £50k to £400k. The Fund Manager has the discretion on the use of financial instruments but a substantial proportion of the fund will be invested in quasi-equity/mezzanine instruments.

Who can apply?

Relatively mature companies at development and growth stages in most

sectors are eligible to apply to the Growth Fund, although there are a

number of exclusions which can be found on the NEL website.
