Businesses who have been through another project to develop a decarbonisation plan will need to provide the details of the organisation that developed it with them, so that the grant team can determine its legitimacy.

Business support organisations, such as Libraries Unlimited and Business Information Point, will also be able to make applications on behalf of organisations they are supporting.
