Businesses across Argyll and Bute are being encouraged to find out about grant funding available from the council to support their development and growth.
The council offers a range of grants for eligible businesses based in Argyll and Bute. To make it easier for businesses to access the right support, they now only need to complete one Business Funding Enquiry Form (BFEF) to register their interest.
Once submitted, the information provided will be shared with the teams responsible for any relevant grants. They will then get in touch with the business to discuss the funding available and, where appropriate, the application process.
This streamlined approach means businesses don't need to submit the same information multiple times and helps ensure enquiries reach the right team as quickly as possible.
Council Leader Councillor Jim Lynch said: “We know that navigating different funding opportunities can take time, so we want to make the process of finding the right support as straightforward as possible for local businesses.
"By completing one Business Funding Enquiry Form, businesses can tell us about their needs, and our teams can identify the grants that may be relevant to them.
"Even if there isn't a suitable funding opportunity available immediately, we'd still encourage businesses to register their interest. It will help us understand what support our local businesses need and means we can let them know about relevant opportunities that may arise."
Completing the Business Funding Enquiry Form does not guarantee that funding will be awarded. It enables the council to review the needs of each business and connect them with appropriate funding and support where available.
