The premise of any regional economic development strategy is that there are more business opportunities available than have been realized. The promotion of local business activities in the rural communities of Lithuania was analysed in the present paper. Local government activities should be directly involved in regional policy such as framing a development strategy, choosing winning firms or sectors, investing in infrastructure, and so forth. More indirect methods of promoting development are used now such as attempting to foster the local entrepreneurial culture or creating a climate for business development. Information on market conditions and technologies are likely to be in short supply in smaller more isolated communities such as Anykščiai district. The local business support centers could serve as a partial substitute in smaller communities for the formal and informal structures found in larger centers. The present researches show also that the deficiency for business in smaller rural communities is inadequate access to capital - both debt and equity financing. Local community initiatives actually undertaken in Lithuania fall into two main groupings. The first group is those designed to enhance the use or quality of local resources, especially human’s resources. This constitutes a supply side approach to development. The second set of activities involves a response to market forces or market opportunities - a demand side orientation. Well-designed economic development programmes can enhance these problems
