Our Diversification Services
We can assist at every stage of your project, from initial feasibility through to project management.
Making the Most of Your Rural Assets
Rural diversification can help your business to reduce income volatility, make productive use of underutilised buildings and land, and meet the growing demand for rural tourism, leisure and experiences. It can also play a key role in supporting long-term succession planning and in unlocking grant funding linked to rural enterprise and environmental land management.
The most successful projects begin with careful research, honest financial appraisal and clear planning. FBR Seed provides independent rural diversification advice to help you navigate every stage of that process with confidence.

Case Study: Holiday Lodges
The Davisons of Woodheads Farm, on the outskirts of Lauder identified the opportunity to diversify and create a holiday accommodation development in an area of woodland overlooking the Lauderdale Valley. FBR Seed Director, Jenni Douglas, worked closely with them to secure planning permission and deliver the project with consideration given to access routes, renewable power and environmental conservation.
