Support for businesses - grants and awards

 

West Lothian Council's business advisers are well versed in the eligibility criteria for many of the schemes of financial assistance on offer.

They'll help you search for grants appropriate for your business and have a proven track record in accessing these funds.

And where financial assistance is unlikely to be forthcoming, they?ll give you a straightforward answer.
