New business grants in Scotland for under 30's

Hey a couple of months ago I believe that bgateway were doing a grand for all under 30's starting a business in Scotland. Is this offer still going? or are there similar offers available? Or did anyone get this?

  • I got one!

    You have to write a business plan and committ to your business full-time, but I was guided through the process by my busines gateway advisor (Fife) and found it fiarly straightforward.

    They pay VERY quickly too, the money arrived in my account 3 working days after I recieved my acceptance letter.

    Just ask if you want any more details.

    I got one too,
    Best bet is to arrange an appointment with an advisor or go to one of their seminas, Have to be full time within 1 year of starting and its paid once you have registered with the inland revenue.
