Completing your application for COVID-19 Business Grants

As you will probably know, Highland Council are processing the applications for the Scottish Government’s support to small businesses and tourism / hospitality businesses and the application system went live this week.

They initially saw applications come in at a rate of one a minute, which is good, but also brings challenges. Highland Council have asked us to ensure our members continue to apply but also encourage you to take a few minutes to read the guidance and to check things before submitting your application. Ultimately this avoids them having to contact you again and should mean businesses will receive their grant faster.

In order to minimise the number of calls / queries on subjects where the answers are already out there, they have created a set of FAQs which will be alongside the form on the Highland Council website.
