Here’s why we think Cumbria is a lucrative place to start a business.

Population growth

While Cumbria isn’t the fastest-growing county in the UK, it’s growing slowly and steadily. With a population growth rate of around 2.3% since 2003, Cumbria enjoys more of stable, positive growth, rather than a quick and unstable one. Which is a perfect opportunity for building a sustainable business.
