Funding for rural businesses great and small

Whether you are looking to start, grow or improve a business in rural Yorkshire? You could be eligible for funding from the Rural Development Programme for England.

There are three different types of funding schemes, depending on your needs. If you’re starting a new business or growing an existing one, the Rural Enterprise Investment Programme could provide you with grants of 50% when the projects costs are £50,000 or more. If you’re starting or expanding a new rural micro enterprise (less than 10 employees), the Rural Business Support Programme can provide grants of up to 50% when the project is up to £50,000 through Business Link. Finally if you want to introduce new technology to promote efficiency, the Farm Resource Efficiency Programme could provide grants of up to 50% (to a maximum of £25,000) for capital equipment projects such as renewable power, heat, rainwater harvesting or manure management for farming and horticultural businesses.
