Support for rural businesses
The following are programmes that can provide access to training and advice for rural businesses.
LandSkills East has been set up to provide rural businesses with improved access to skills and training opportunities in the region.
If you are a business and feel that your staff would benefit from training go to www.landskillseast.co.uk and look to find courses that meet your needs.
LEADER is a source of funding for farmers and rural businesses and is available to support rural diversification and the development of business projects across the Brecks, Waveney Valley, Norfolk Broads and Coast.
A fastrack process is available for grants of up to £50,000 but you must have a sound match-funding package in place, be it your own funds or borrowings - for more information go to www.ruraladvice.co.uk/lag
