Officers at North Norfolk District Council have proposed a raft of measures to help businesses during the economic crisis and ease the way towards recovery.
The ideas include a business start-up support package, mentoring for fledgling businesses, and the creation of a virtual market-place where local small businesses can bid for public sector contracts.
Caroline Williams, chief executive of the Norfolk Chamber of Commerce said the news would have a “ripple effect” on businesses across the county.
Between �150,000 and �200,000 of council cash, along with at least �400,000 from partner organisations, will form part of a funding bid to Interreg, an organisation which promotes interregional cooperation between regions in the EU.
