The Rural Business Grant supports businesses to develop new products and facilities that will be of wider benefit to the local economy.

A local business is already seeing business growth, after purchasing new equipment which has improved their efficiency and sustainability. Gemma Clarke, at Seeds & Grain shares the result of her successful application:

“The Rural Business Grant has enabled our business to purchase a state-of-the-art grain testing machine. This allows us to conduct all grain testing in house rather than sending samples on to 3rd party laboratories. This helps reduce the time getting results back to farmers, as well as reduce our carbon footprint.”

This grant supports capital investments only and prioritises sustainable investments. If this is something that your business could benefit from, find more information at: https://www.n-kesteven.gov.uk/ruralbusinessgrant
