While there are a number of grant schemes in place in relation to small public service vehicles, I am not aware of a specific grant scheme for rural hackney licence services in the first year of business. 

The regulation of the small public service vehicle industry, including rural hackney licences, is a matter for the National Transport Authority under the provisions of the Taxi Regulation Act 2013.

With this in mind, I have referred your question to the Authority for direct reply to you. Please advise my private office if you do not receive a response within 10 working days.
