Measure
Three - Investment in Enterprise
|
|
The objective of this measure is to provide capital investment
for new and developing rural enterprise, which will make a valuable
contribution to current and future rural economic development.
Consultation has identified a gap in the availability of capital
assistance. The LEADER+ initiative points to the support of
innovation and new business start up and development, which
very often is accompanied by high-risk ventures. The support
therefore of such businesses cannot always be gained from traditional
sources. However, all financial support possibilities must be
explored.
