Norfolk Rural Business Advice
Service (NRBAS) provides independent support for rural businesses.
Established by Shaping Norfolk’s Future in 2000, NRBAS
is a not-for-profit organisation that aims to help Norfolk rural
businesses develop through sustainable growth and change into the
twenty-first century.
A key aim is to make information and support widely
available and accessible.
We provide one-to-one business advice; group working
and training; and support to projects dedicated to tackling key rural
issues.
This website gives you a range of practical tools
and information that will help take your business forward.
The key areas of the website are:
- Farm Diversification
/ Rural Business Development:
Whether your business is a farming one, a start up or an existing
rural business, you may be considering diversifying or creating a
new enterprise. This toolkit provides practical guidance in
assessing a new business idea and developing the business plan.
- Farmers and Business Forum:
Open to both young farmers and young rural business people (20 to 35
years old), this programme provides practical support and help to
tackle problems in work and business that will help you to develop
your own opportunities.

RDPE

funding available. The programme has funding until the end of
2013.
