Local LEP ScaleUp Programmes

Businesses benefit from a number of scaleup programmes that exist in the sub region, such as the Northern Powerhouse Investment Fund which offers a suite of business loans and the dedicated Cheshire and Warrington Access to Finance and Grant Programme. The Manufacturing Growth Programme helps manufacturing businesses to identify, understand and remove their barriers to growth and Made Smarter supports manufacturers with the adoption and exportation of advanced digital technologies. The COVID pandemic delayed scaleup plans in the LEP but it has become increasingly clear that ambitious businesses in the area have a strong appetite for more targeted high growth support.
In early 2021 the Cheshire and Warrington Growth Hub expanded its offer by adding a high-level account management function and significant expertise in accessing finance.
