3 New Covid-related Funding Schemes from the Scottish Government

The following three new schemes are now available:

• Pivotal Enterprise Resilience Fund
• Creative, Tourism & Hospitality Enterprises Hardship Fund
• Newly Self-Employed Hardship Fund

Follow this link for full Scottish Government Guidance

The Pivotal Enterprises and Creative, Tourism & Hospitality Funds can be applied for through the Scottish Government website. APPLY HERE

These two grant schemes are not as simple as other national offerings. The application for both requires provision of prior year accounts or management accounts along with cash flow projections. If you have any questions and require support in preparing accounts and/or cash flow projections, please do get in touch.

The Newly Employed Hardship Fund is slightly more straightforward but is limited to a one-off payment of £2,000. Notably it does not appear to cover new partners in partnerships. Application in this case is made through your local council. The following link leads you to each council’s relevant link: APPLY HERE
