Dear Invest Northern Ireland,

Can I confirm that the Invest NI’s £2m Covid-19 Business and Financial Planning Grant providing up to £8,000 to cover the cost of business consultancy, is based on the premise that the £8000 goes to investNI business consultants or can I as a business decided on the who I ask to give me the business advice and I can avail of the monies and use my own business consultant.

Yours faithfully,
Brian Donaldson

Thank you for your enquiry.

 

Businesses will decide which consultant they would propose using and the
published list will provide a starting point for the business. If your
preferred business adviser is not yet included on the published list at: 
[1]https://www.nibusinessinfo.co.uk/sites/d...
 they can still apply to be included.  Further details can be found at: 
[2]https://www.investni.com/sites/default/f...

 

Consultants can submit requests to be included on a published list at any
point up until 5pm on Friday 7 November. Invest NI  will review and assess
applications and update the list by the Friday of the week following the
submission of a consultant’s request.

 

Consultants will be expected to apply and be approved in accordance with
the published guidance for the BFPG Call for Consultants before a business
can use them.

 

Yours sincerely

 

Patrick Dewar

Corporate Finance Executive
