Investor Support for Companies Relocating to Cornwall

Cornwall actively welcomes the arrival of new businesses to the county. The InvestinCornwall (UK and Europe) team has been established to offer a one-stop-shop to businesses who are thinking of relocating and provide expert advice and support to help facilitate the move.

We believe Cornwall is a great place to be in business, and if you take a look at some of the businesses that have already made the move you'll understand why. The businesses that we are hoping to attract are those who aren't content to accept mediocrity - who have the energy and enthusiasm to go for the best they can achieve. It's businesses like these that will have the most to contribute to Cornwall's continuing economic success.

So if this is you, what services can we offer?

Making the Decision - Prior to Relocation

There are many issues to consider when relocating your business. InvestinCornwall provides an individual account manager to support you in any aspect that helps make this decision easier.

Typical support services that we provide include:

· Looking into eligible finance options such as business loans and grants

· IT / broadband requirements and solutions

· Advice and support on recruitment and training

· Undertaking or sourcing initial research requirements, for example on the state of the local market or supply chains

· Facilitating introductions to key contacts within the county, such as organisers of sector networks or R&D grants

If there is anything you need advice on that is not covered here please ask!

At InvestinCornwall we believe that understanding and meeting business needs doesn't stop at the point of relocation. We want to make sure that your experience of doing business in Cornwall is just as rewarding as you imagined it. Therefore, we continue to provide support to your business when you are set up in the county.

This can include:
