In short

Some Highlands, Islands and Scottish businesses may be eligible for funding support towards digital projects. Funding is discretionary and depends on your sector, location and the project. I cannot promise you will qualify, but I can help you understand what may be available and put together a clear business case.

What types of projects may fit

Websites

A new or rebuilt site that captures leads and connects to your systems.

Customer portals

Secure portals that replace manual request and booking admin.

Staff dashboards

Internal tools that give the team one clear place to work.

AI automation

Practical AI workflows that cut repetitive admin.

Business automation

Connecting your tools so work moves without chasing.

Apps and internal tools

Custom tools that replace spreadsheets and manual steps.

What I can help with

Understanding what may fit. A plain look at whether your project is the kind of thing funding tends to support.

Shaping the business case. Framing the project around clear outcomes: time saved, admin reduced, leads captured.

Scoping and quoting. A clear scope and price for the work, which is usually what a funding application needs.

Building the project. Once funding is sorted, I build and support the system as normal.

Funding is discretionary and decided by the funding body, not by me. I help with the digital side and the business case, not with guaranteeing an outcome.

Funding FAQs

Some Scottish, Highlands and Islands businesses can access support towards digital projects through bodies such as Highlands and Islands Enterprise and other schemes. What is available changes over time and depends on your circumstances.

I cannot promise that. Funding is discretionary and depends on your sector, location and project. What I can do is help you understand whether your project is the type that tends to fit, and prepare a clear case.

The digital side and the business case: understanding what may fit, shaping the project around clear outcomes, and providing a proper scope and quote. The funding decision sits with the funding body.

Not usually. Where support is available it often covers part of the cost rather than all of it. The exact amount depends on the scheme and your project.

Get in touch and tell me what you want to build. We will work out whether it is worth exploring funding and what a clear scope would look like.
