NORTHERN IRELAND RURAL DEVELOPMENT PROGRAMME (NIRDP) 2014-2020

Final opportunity to express an interest in the Rural Business Investment Scheme

The Fermanagh and Omagh Local Action Group (LAG) Ltd recently hosted 5 Funding Workshops across the District Council area for the Rural Business Investment Scheme. The Scheme is designed to support the development of a strong and diverse rural economy, investing in new business development and the expansion of existing enterprises to create a balanced and forward looking rural economy. The primary objective of the Scheme is job creation.

Due to the level of interest, the LAG will be hosting one further MANDATORY Funding Workshop in the Bawnacre Centre, Irvinestown at 7.00pm on Monday 4 March 2019.

Tea/Coffee will be available from 7.00pm with the Workshop commencing at 7:30pm sharp

If you are interested in applying for funding under the Rural Business Investment Scheme then attendance at a workshop is the only entry point. Please note that attendance also includes the requirement to complete an Expression of Interest form on the night (outlining brief details on the proposed project that you are seeking funding for including anticipated costs). Failure of the business owner if a sole trader, one of the partners if operating a business partnership, or one of the Directors if operating a legal entity registered with Companies House to attend will result in you being ineligible to apply under this call for applications.
