Larne Borough Council Chief Executive, Geraldine McGahey is urging local businesses to consider the various types of financial support available to help businesses through the current economic downturn.
Working with LEDCOM, Larne Development Forum is keen to raise awareness of the range of support provided at European, UK and Northern Ireland level for businesses.
"In challenging economic times we want to encourage local companies to take advantage of all the support that is available to them," said Geraldine McGahey.
The Department of Enterprise, Trade and Investment (DETI) has produced a table detailing the support available, which includes a government-backed loan guarantee scheme, and Invest NI's accelerated support fund and short term aid scheme.
The table is available through the DETI website's home page (www.detini.gov.uk) and can also be accessed through the Council and LEDCOM web sites: www.larne.gov.uk and www.ledcom.org
