Whether you are considering diversifying into a new enterprise or making improvements to your existing business it is important to have the correct advice to take advantage of the many grants that are available from time to time via the Rural Development Programme.
At Madeleys we have the experience in dealing with a number of grant applications for diversification schemes on holdings to include the preparation of an initial Feasibility Studies, detailed Business Plans and Management Cash Flows and Budgets.
At the time of writing, as a result of the comprehensive spending review that took place in 2010, there has been a funding reductions to elements of the Rural Development Programme for England which has meant that many of the grants schemes that were available are no longer available for new applications.
We are informed that DEFRA are developing a new range of small grant schemes from April 2012 and Madeleys will be at the forefront advising clients what is available to assist their business as and when these come on stream.
