Grant for Business Investment (GBI)

GBI (formerly known as Selective Finance for Investment in England or SFIE grants) makes discretionary grants available from Government (the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills - BIS) to support businesses with investment projects which will increase productivity, skills and employment in deprived areas in England.

The grants are managed by the Regional Development Agencies.

In February 2007, emda announced an ambitious extension to the scheme to support small and medium-sized enterprises across the whole of the region.
