Find funding and support
Financial support for financial services businesses in Scotland
While there are no specific schemes in operation to provide financial support to developing financial services organisations, there are a range of non-industry specific financial assistance programmes which financial services organisations are able to utilise. We are responsible for managing some of these programmes and can provide guidance, support and access to others.
The schemes operated by us include:
Scottish Business Grants
Regional Selective Assistance (RSA) is a national grant scheme, aimed at encouraging investment and job creation in the areas of Scotland designated for regional state aid under European Community law. Some £17 million in funding has been granted under the RSA scheme to financial services companies during the last* 12 months.
Find out more about Regional Selective Assistance on the Scottish Business Grants website
