Applicants for funding over 20,000 may be required to present at the meeting of the Grants and Loans Panel. Panel recommendations require approval from the Director of Communities Economy and Transport. Once approved, successful applicants will be notified by by the Economic Development Team. The date of this will count as the formal Offer Date from which the project is deemed to have started and from which all spend is eligible. This is also the date at which the exchange rate with the Euro is taken in cases where State-aid is relevant. Unsuccessful applicants will be notified of the decision and a rationale for rejection given. There is no appeals process but applicants can re-apply if they clearly address the reasons given for rejection.

6 East Sussex County Council Grants and Loans - May Upgrading Empty Commercial Property Fund The Upgrading Empty Commercial Property Fund is aimed at companies that are planning to refurbish, upgrade or convert empty or underused commercial premises. The fund is 500,000 and the maximum funding that can be applied for per application is 120,000. Typical funding per application is expected to be 50,000. Funding can be in the form of a loan, equity share, percentage of rental income or viability gap grant which is decided on a case by case basis. This fund is delivered by Locate East Sussex, which is the first point of contact for applicants. All applications are appraised by the Grants and Loans Panel. Funding criteria The Upgrading Empty Commercial Property Fund is for commercial buildings and is aimed primarily at light industrial or office buildings. Retail properties will not generally be considered. The property must have been unoccupied or only partly occupied and demonstrably inappropriate for commercial use for a minimum of six months prior to application. The property must be over 10 years old. Refurbishment costs should normally be less than 19,214 per job created. Costs will however be negotiated on exceptionals depending on the negative impact the building has on the near environment and proven demand in the area. The estimated end value of the refurbished property must be equal to, or more than the prerefurbishment value plus the value of the funding. The minimum floor space considered for this fund is 1,000 sq ft. / sq m. The final scheme must have a use with a job density of over one job per 36 sq m (Gross Internal Area). Funding type A maximum grant or loan is available of 120k per property. The match funding level (excluding value of the building) will be at a minimum of 30%. A charge may be put on the property so that in the case of a sale, the investment by East Sussex County Council can be reclaimed. Depending on the individual situation and ownership of each building, the funding contract could be: a deferred loan to the property owner to be paid back on or around 75%+ occupancy at favourable terms when the scheme is viable in the medium term. 6
7 an equity share, where the building conversion could be viable in the medium term but the owner cannot support a loan. In this case East Sussex County Council will take a share of the ownership of the property and receive an equivalent and negotiated share of net rental profit. a deferred percentage of rentals as a proportion of the investment by East Sussex County Council providing a return over an agreed period. a direct viability gap grant to property owners to refurbish, sub-divide, upgrade part of and let the property on easy terms where the works are not financially viable without public sector financial intervention. This is suggested for smaller scale refurbishment requirements in the order of 20,000-50,000 total cost. This may include an overage agreement whereby some of the grant may be claimed back if the property yields a higher level of income than predicted. Fund process An initial site visit and assessment of the premises will be carried out by Locate East Sussex. Assessments are likely to cover the estimated cost to refurbish or sub-divide, financial viability of planned development, evidence of demand for completed units, projected number of jobs refurbished premises would accommodate. Projects which pass the initial assessment will be notified to the Economic Development Team for Stage 1 Approval. Stage 1 Approval will be dependent on demand and allocation across the county. It is at this stage that the terms of the possible funding will be negotiated. Successful Stage 1 applications will be presented to the Grants and Loans Panel which will make a recommendation to the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport. Applicants for funding of more than 50,000 will be required to attend the panel. If the project is recommended and approved by the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport, a contract will be drawn up to include the following points: Tender evaluation process. All building projects must go out to tender to include using the Build East Sussex Network At least three costed tenders must be provided for each building project. The contractor does not have to be a member of Build East Sussex. The rationale for selection will be required. Up to three stage payments can be made on receipt of surveyor s signing off. Agreement that no funds will be paid in advance of works completed. The Upgrading Empty Commercial Property Fund is delivered by Locate East Sussex on behalf of East Sussex County Council. Locate East Sussex can be contacted by at enquiries@locateeastsussex.org.uk or by calling during office hours. 7
8 East Sussex County Council Grants and Loans - May Business Incubator Fund The Business Incubator Fund is a 1.5m fund to support the creation (new build or conversion) of a minimum of three Business Incubation Centres. Funding is via loan, equity share, percentage of rental income, viability gap grant and is decided on each case individually. Value for money will be appraised on a cost per job and overall cost of each scheme by area of workspace created. There are no detailed criteria published as applications to this fund are assessed on a case by case basis. Priority treatment will be given to towns that currently do not have incubator space, including Eastbourne, Polegate, Hailsham and Crowborough. It is unlikely that Newhaven and Hastings will qualify as these towns already have the Enterprise Centre and the Innovation Centre respectively. Applications comprising an outline of the case for a Business Incubation Centre and a fully costed business plan should be sent in the first instance to Locate East Sussex. All applications are appraised the Grants and Loans Panel which will make a recommendation to the Director of Communities, Economy and Transport. The Business Incubator Fund is delivered by Locate East Sussex on behalf of East Sussex County Council. Locate East Sussex can be contacted by at enquiries@locateeastsussex.org.uk or by calling during office hours. 8
