Businesses in North Lanarkshire town centres have chance to get grant funding from the council

Businesses in North Lanarkshire town centres will have the opportunity to seek grant funding from the council under a new pilot scheme planned to launch in the 2025/2026 financial year. ‌

The council is to make a total of £250,000 available to support businesses in its towns and possibly also in outlying retail areas. ‌

Eligible applicants will include owners of vacant properties or their representatives where they have a new tenant or are actively seeking one, start-ups looking to lease empty properties and existing businesses looking to expand. ‌

Large chains, betting shops, sex shops, pawnbrokers, tanning salons, tobacconists, vape shops and alcohol-only outlets will not be permitted to apply for grants.
