Caithness Business Fund

Caithness Business Fund

Caithness Business Fund is a private sector fund established to distribute grants to small businesses based within the Caithness and North Sutherland area (defined as the Dounreay Travel to Work Area)

The Fund’s mission is to promote the economic growth of Caithness and North Sutherland by supporting new and existing businesses and developing the skill base to meet new challenges.

The Fund promotes economic growth and assists small businesses through contributions it receives from developers and businesses either through a multi-year commitment or one-off contributions.  The Fund’s main funder is Baillie Wind Farm Ltd which contributes £25,000 RPI per annum (a 25-year commitment), with additional contributions from Cavendish Nuclear, Dounreay and the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority.

Caithness Chamber of Commerce acts as the managing agent for the Fund and can help those looking to apply to put together their application form, as well as the support evidence such as business plans and financial forecasts required.
