Additional Grant Support for Small and Medium Sized Businesses

The Scottish Government has announced a £100 million package of additional grant support for small and medium sized businesses (SMEs) and newly self-employed people.

This support is now open for applications with the three separate funds administered by local authorities and Scotland’s enterprise agencies and will begin to pay out grants in early May.

They include a £34 million hardship fund for the newly self-employed, a £20 million fund for small and micro enterprises in the creative, tourism and hospitality sectors and £45 million for viable SMEs crucial to the Scottish economy which are vulnerable.
