- Access to a range of planning, financial and infrastructure support packages including: Business rate reliefs worth up to £275,000 per eligible business over a 5 year period; Enhanced Capital Allowances (ECA) for qualifying plant and machinery.
- Simplified planning processes to facilitate fast track planning applications.
- Access to superfast broadband via the Digital Region network.
Only 6 Enhanced Capital Allowances (ECAs) have been granted nationally by central Government of which 3 have been granted within the Sheffield city region.
A company qualifying for ECAs will be able to claim enhanced first year allowances at 100% for up to 5 years.
