In this blog, we’ll explore some of the common hurdles rural businesses encounter and how to overcome them.
Navigating the Support Landscape
Rural businesses frequently struggle with knowing where to look for support and understanding the eligibility criteria of various programmes. With multiple initiatives available, each with specific catchment areas and requirements, business owners often find it challenging to navigate and identify the right support for their needs. This lack of awareness and clarity can lead to missed opportunities and slow growth.
