DfE announces changes to business scheme

The Department for Enterprise has announced a series of changes to one of its schemes.

Changes to its Business Improvement Scheme include financial support up to £5,000, a grant of up to 50 per cent towards project costs and a business advisory service funded by the DfE.

Enterprise Minister, Laurence Skelly, says these changes will help more people and businesses reach their potential on the Island.

The program - formerly known as the Business Support Scheme - started in 2004 and has seen over 150 projects completed in the last five years.
