Scottish Enterprise Subsidy Schemes
Most of the assistance given to businesses by Scottish Enterprise is subsidy. Our Subsidy Schemes provide the basis for assistance offered by Scottish Enterprise through a range of products and services.
We have updated our schemes to reflect the change to the legal position following the expiry of the Brexit transition period on 31 December 2020. Assistance is discretionary, based on the merits of the proposed project, and an assessment of need which is subject to rigorous due diligence appraisal.
