You could be eligible for a Growth Programme grant if your business is carrying out a project to create jobs or bring more money into the rural economy.
The minimum grant request is £35,000, the maximum depends on the type of grant. The Dorset LEADER team will also be available to chat through ideas for smaller grant requests.
There are 3 types of grant:
- Business development
- Food processing
- Rural tourism infrastructure
The scheme is delivered by the RPA and the Dorset Local Enterprise Partnership (LEP). Find out more about the grants at : https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/rdpe-growth-programme
Rural Businesses are invited to come along to one of these FREE events to hear more about the grants and to speak to a member of the Rural Payments Agency (RPA) grants team about project ideas.
