Who Qualifies?

New entrant and existing tenant farmers in Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly.

Successful applicants will need to show potential viability and be unable to raise sufficient funding from traditional sources in order to proceed.

How Can The Fund Help?

The fund will provide match funding loans of up to £50,000. It is expected that applicants will raise at least half of the required project finance from other sources, e.g. own funds, banks or other lenders. However, consideration may be given to applicants for more than 50% of costs if the need can be substantiated.

What Can It Be Used For?

Most reasonable costs associated with the new business other than land purchase, will be considered for support.
