It's a well kept secret, but since Renfrewshire Council works closely with Scottish Enterprise you could get easily lulled into a sense that they forget about business.
They have various schemes available to boost business here and well worth concidering if you are looking to expand, consolidate or diversify.
It could be helpful if you are dealing with the barriers to business like, say, banks!

Scottish Enterprises business support side. To be honest it's targeted at the medium to large company and those who export. Smaller businesses get support from information on the web site.
Many business people get upset because they believe that there are grants for this and that, well, if you are expanding and aiming at exporting then there are some.
The money they receive tends to be targeted at initiatives and training which every business can access.
