Welcome to LowCVP: Engaging with Investors Microsite
Identifying Potential Sources of Funding for New Businesses/SMEs
The aim of this site is to provide start-up and early stage companies in the low carbon automotive sector with guidance and potential sources of funding and finance to establish and grow their business.
The language used in this site uses terms recognisable to the automotive and financing sectors and we hope to help you answer the following questions:
- How does the UK automotive sector function and what is the structure of the supply chain
- What are the stages of development that a business goes through and what are suitable types and sources of finance?
- What stage of business development can these funding sources support?
- What are the advantages and disadvantages associated with these funding routes?
- What is the best way to access the main sources of finance?
- What are the criteria for successful application?
- Where can I get further support?
