Good morning,

At close on 19th May 2020, Local Authorities reported that over 81,000 applications have been received for the Small Business Grant Scheme and the Retail, Hospitality and Leisure Business Grant Scheme across Scotland.

Of these applications, around 65,000 grants valuing over £741m have been awarded.  The table below summarises the progress of the business grant schemes so far for each local authority across Scotland.

The number of applications continues to represent a best estimate, based on available information at the time. Grants awarded represents actual awards made and funds paid out.

Not reflected in the published information are cases where Local Authorities have processed an application which has not resulted in a grant awarded.  This could be, for example, because an ineligible applicant applied and were rejected or because the local authority has asked the applicant for additional information and are awaiting a response.
