Cultivator Extension Application Form

Welcome to the new Cultivator application process.

Cultivator Phase 2 has been extended to June 2023, and we are looking forward to welcoming new clients to the programme. The application process aims to help us understand your business/organisation and your plan for the next 12 months so that we can assess whether we are able to support you. Due to the time limitation and the focus of the extension requirements, there are some priorities we need to take into consideration, such as job creation, new developments and new markets.

Deadline for applications: 12 noon Monday 4th April.

Please note that there are a limited number of places on the programme. We will let you know whether your application has been successful as soon as possible following the deadline. If you are accepted onto the programme we will then need to gather some additional information from you as well as some documents relating to your eligibility.

We would highly recommend that you read the information on our website already about the extension and its priorities, before applying.

If you have difficulties filling this form, please get in touch by e-mailing enquiries@cultivatorcornwall.org.uk or via telephone: 01209 312501.
