| Regional Growth Fund - Assisted Asset Purchase Scheme |
Lloyds TSB’s Assisted Asset Purchase Scheme enables businesses that meet schemes criteria and want to create/ protect jobs, to obtain a grant towards the purchase of new assets where they would not ordinarily be eligible for Bank funding due to a lack of deposit. The scheme is supported by the Governments’ Regional Growth Fund (RGF), which is a £2.6 billion fund operating across England. It supports projects and programmes that are using private sector investment to create economic growth and sustainable employment. |
