Putting Crime Out of Business
South Yorkshire launched a major initiative designed to reduce crime against business on 14th June 2007. The Sheffield-based charity, South Yorkshire People United Against Crime, is launching the Business Crime Reduction Centre (BCRC) to reduce the impact of crime on economic growth and development.
Supported by funding from Yorkshire Forward, the European Community and Objective 1, the major initiative for BCRC is to increase the use of e-business practices amongst SMEs. The project has established a specialist business support service, dedicated to increasing the uptake of ICT solutions by providing guidance and reassurance to reduce the negative economic impact of e-crime and other associated criminal acts.
The Crime Prevention Fund can contribute towards electronic security or physical security equipment for qualifying companies located in South Yorkshire.
What will it fund?
- Funding can be used to contribute to the purchase of electronic security and physical security measures
- Grants are available to support crime prevention measures to help make businesses more secure
Who is eligible to apply to the fund?
- Your business must be a small to medium sized enterprise operating in the South Yorkshire area and meet certain conditions.
