Digital Development Grant (West Lothian)

West Lothian Council

Description

West Lothian Council grant, funded via the council's Economic Growth Plan, helping SMEs introduce new digital capabilities into their workplace or processes.

Amount

Up to £7,500 (VAT-registered businesses, against a £15,000 project cost)

Deadline

Rolling / no fixed deadline

Eligibility summary

  • Available in: Scotland.
  • Applicant must be a registered business.
  • Most relevant to: Technology & Digital.
Notes
VAT-registered businesses can receive up to £7,500 against a total project cost of £15,000 (VAT excluded from the grant sum). RE-VERIFICATION (20 Aug 2026): the previously-recorded lower-tier award for non-VAT-registered businesses (up to £1,000 against a £2,000 spend) is no longer mentioned on either the council's Invest in West Lothian page or the findbusinesssupport.gov.scot mirror — likely dropped. The scheme is now described as funded by 'West Lothian Council's Economic Growth Plan' rather than the UK Shared Prosperity Fund, consistent with UKSPF's national end date of 31 March 2026.
Requirement
SMEs based in West Lothian, trading for at least 6 months, with a business plan for growth and up-to-date financial records. Businesses awarded a Digital Development Grant within the last 12 months cannot re-apply.
