Our remaining programme of grants and specialist advice for businesses based in Argyll and Bute, funded by the UK Government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, has closed for applications as all funding has been fully committed. We await information on future funding opportunities and will provide an update here when available. In the meantime our Business Gateway team can signpost alternative sources of funding and continue to offer advice and support to help your business start, survive or grow. Find out how we can help.
