Lancaster-based Mainstage, which produces staging for performance spaces, has secured a £75,000 loan from Lancashire County Council's Rosebud Finance to improve efficiency at its production plant.
The company was founded 25 years ago by former theatre set designer Mike Sweetland and now employs 14 people producing staging and seating for locations such as theatres, schools, places of worship and community centres.
The Rosebud loan will help to part-fund the improvements and is the second time that Rosebud has supported this company in the past ten years.
Paul Taberner of Enterprise Ventures said: “During its 25 years in business, Mainstage has gained a loyal customer base.
County Councillor Niki Penney, chair of LCDL, said: "Rosebud aims to create highly-skilled jobs across Lancashire by providing the necessary finance and support that companies need.
