About us – Locate East Sussex
Locate East Sussex is the official inward investment agency for East Sussex.
We are funded by the county council together with the district and borough councils of East Sussex and up until 2023 the European Union’s Regional Development Fund, as part of a wider South East Invest project that involves East Sussex County Council and Kent County Council.
If you’re a business in East Sussex we can help you grow.
Our experienced and dedicated team supports any sized business already based in East Sussex and companies moving into the county to access funding to help grow our economy and create jobs in local communities.
The South East plays a pivotal role in the UK economy and is the gateway to mainland Europe. Locate East Sussex is key to ensuring that East Sussex remains an exceptional place to live, work and visit.
Since 2013 we have delivered over £6.8 million to growing businesses through East Sussex County Council’s grants and loans programme, matched by over £24.8 million from the companies themselves.
This £31.3million boost to the local economy has resulted in the creation of over 911 new permanent jobs.
