Financial support for businesses

Setting up or expanding a business

The Peak District National Park Authority can help new and expanding businesses in a number of ways.

We encourage businesses to maximise their special National Park location. Making the best use of the Peak District’s distinct and beautiful landscape can give your products and services a distinct marketing edge.

We can also offer advice that may help you to access grants. This may include schemes that the National Park Authority manages, although please be aware that we have a limited amount of funding available to businesses.

Alternatively we may be able to direct you to other schemes and sources of funding that we are aware of.

Grants for supporting sustainable development  
Do you have a project that will be directly beneficial to the environment? Have you got an idea that will tackle social problems, improve social inclusion or help to develop the local economy?
