Securing Funding for Your Workspace Refurbishment Project

Are you based in the South or East and looking to undertake workplace refurbishment work? If so, then you may be eligible for funding via LoCASE (Low Carbon Across the South and East).

The LoCase programme is supported by the European Regional Development Fund to provide businesses support programme in the South and East. The aim to help businesses grow while protecting the environment and encouraging low carbon solutions.

LoCASE provides grants of up to £10,000 for businesses looking to fund energy efficient upgrades to their operations, develop or improve their “green” product or service, streamline their processes and more. You can get funding for a wide range of things, from energy efficient lighting to building insulation to training for staff and website development (the latter for Low Carbon Environmental Goods and Services businesses)

For example, Rap Interiors recently secured funding to pay for an electric vehicle. Given that Rap’s project team is out on the road all the time, this has gone a long way in reducing the company’s carbon emissions.

There are a number of benefits of LoCASE funding can bring to your business. For the sake of a short application, it’s definitely worth a shot! Here are some of the benefits:

• Secure More Tenders – Showing that you’re conscious about the environment can give you the edge over competitors in tender submissions. This is now a key part of the decision making process for prospective clients.
• Save and Re-Invest – A successful application means you can save money on your project, which you can then re-invest into another area of the business.
• Protect the Environment – If you’re serious about sustainability, then LoCase funding will support your green initiatives. Not only is this good for the planet, but it reflects well on your business too! We’re big supporters of sustainability at Rap Interiors, so fully encourage any business to explore the funding options available. Learn more about our own sustainability mission here.
