Network of Business and Entrepreneurship Management Technicians

Problem and context: coordinated network of six technicians depending on the Provincial Government of Burgos offering in situ support/advice and financing to entrepreneurs and local companies established in the rural areas (together with the possibility to access to funds with good conditions) as a means to maintain population in the territory (generating wealth, new jobs and economic activity).
Solution: creation of a network which groups together 6 technicians working in the rural areas of Burgos (each one of them giving service to a different territorial area in the province). Contact face to face with the interested entrepreneurs/companies in its own municipality (no need to go to the capital city to receive support, advice or information).
Among their main actions, we can highlight the following ones:
• Advise entrepreneurs and companies.
• Giving information about subsidies and incentives.
• Promote the business culture.
• Promote innovation and economy based on local resources.
• Facilitate support in administrative issues.
• Encourage partnership and business collaboration.
• Collaborate with the rest of economic and social stakeholders.
In addition, they offer financing for entrepreneurs or improvement of companies established in the rural areas. Funds are available as loans (SODEBUR’s own budget) for new investments and expansion or modernization of productive capacity (companies already operating).
