Rural Enterprise Directory Scotland (REDS) is an initiative led by GrowBiz, a charity based in Perthshire founded by local people supporting micro-businesses and social enterprises across rural Scotland.In recent months, the GrowBiz team has witnessed the hardships and suffering experienced by those who have poured years of hard work into building successful micro-enterprises and watched them collapse overnight as a result of the COVID19 lockdown. Many have been left unable to re-open. From food producers and artists, to carers and digital designers, we have supported Scotland's rural entrepreneurs for more than 10 years, and we are with them now more than ever as the Coronavirus crisis has a disproportionate effect on their livelihoods and quality of life.The Scottish and UK governments have provided much-needed temporary funding for many businesses. But if small enterprises are to recover long-term, they'll need access to ongoing flexible finance and support.- 50:50 grants to support twice as many business owners- Free support services- Connecting individuals of the rural economy via our Rural Enterprise Directory.How REDS Supports Rural Business Owners:The REDS initiative is a dedicated source of financial and enterprise support designed especially for micro-businesses in rural areas.Our initial fundraising target of £3 million will provide critical grant funding to more than 1000 micro-enterprises, social enterprises, and sole traders across rural Scotland.Every enterprise we can assist creates jobs, builds stronger communities, and leads to longer-term opportunities for everyone.
