Can we help your business?

Local businesses can access a variety of services from the Council's Economic Development Team, ranging from advice about grants to help in finding suitable premises.

 

 

Business Link are offering a series of free seminars to businesses within Richmondshire. The seminars are aimed at both start up and established businesses. For information on the themes that will be covered, please read the information pack.

 

Events can also be searched on the Business Link events website.

Business Accommodation

As well as owning and managing a wide range of workspaces, the Council keeps a sites and premises register detailing business premises available throughout the District from agents and private owners. This is available from the Economic Development Office, Friars Wynd, Richmond, and also is available online through the Richmondshire Business Premises website.

Extra funding

Many new and existing businesses are eligible for additional funding or interest free loans. Funding sources include Government Office (Yorkshire and the Humber), Yorkshire Forward and North Yorkshire County Council.

Advice and support

Even if our staff can't offer the advice you need, the District Council has a contract with Business Solutions Bedale Ltd to provide specialist support to businesses in the area. The Council also works alongside Business Link and local business associations, so someone somewhere can probably help.
