Business Gateway Fife (BGF) has opened a hub office in Cupar supporting our operations across Fife.
From our new hub, BGF have already advised our first client – East Neuk Glass. The bespoke stained glass design business was seeking Create in Fife funding to help with the purchase of equipment, including a kiln.
The Create in Fife Fund provides financial support (50% contribution up to a maximum of £1,500) to creative businesses on a range of projects as well as help with the purchase of capital equipment.
Keny Drew of East Neuk Glass said:
“I approached BGF for funding advice to support the purchase of equipment which will help grow the business. I also received excellent advice on how to go about setting up East Neuk Glass as my second company and how it and my commercial photography business fit together.'
BGF’s Cupar hub is located at Westport Business Centre, Old School Road and is an additional part-time office, with headquarters based in Glenrothes.
Westport Business Centre comprises of five units, of which three are available for lease, following a recent refurbishment by Fife Council.
BGF’s Cupar office will be open two afternoons a week. To contact BGF’s advisers outwith these times please call 01592 858333.
