Capital Grant Scheme
Capital Grants, Match-Funded, of between £5,000 to £15,000
The capital grants scheme provides support to eligible businesses to help them make capital investments that will benefit and strengthen their opportunity for growth.
Important: Payment Arrangements
Capital grant funding will not be paid in advance. Businesses must fund the full project costs upfront and claim the approved grant match-funding once the project is completed.
Claims must be supported by appropriate evidence of expenditure, including invoices and proof of payment.
Important:
No costs incurred before formal grant approval are eligible. If you are unsure whether a cost or change is eligible, contact Môn Communities Forward before proceeding.
Submitting an Expression of Interest does not guarantee an offer of funding.
Closing Date: 9th October 2026, 12pm

Funding Available
Capital grants of between £5,000 and £15,000 will become available to eligible businesses.
Applicants must provide a minimum of 50% match-funding towards the total project cost.
The grant requested can be anywhere between £5,000 and £15,000, depending on the size and cost of the project.
Funding and Payment Arrangements
Please note: Grant funding will not be paid in advance.
Businesses must have the capacity to fund the full project cost upfront and will claim the approved grant funding back once the project has been completed, or through pre-arranged installments.
Businesses must therefore be able to demonstrate that they have sufficient funds available to complete the project before grant payment is made.
Reimbursements can be claimed in installments to suit the needs of the project undertaken by the business.
Expressions of Interest are Closed
