Big Bucks for Businesses

The Business Development Grant was re-launched in April to provide funding to start-up and existing businesses located within the inner Rochdale SRB5 area. This stretches from Sparth to Cloverhall, and from Deeplish and Newbold to Lower Falinge and Hamer.  Monies can be used towards the purchase of equipment, market research and feasibility studies, marketing and legal set up costs. Businesses will be considered for this grant if they are setting up in, located in or relocating to the SRB5 area, and can demonstrate an element of job creation or job safeguarding.
