HO(I)L has financially supported more than 1,200 local start-up businesses, community organisations and growth projects within the Highland Business community since it was established in 1986.

This social media campaign is designed to promote HO(I)L’s loan fund and should help to support even more businesses and encourage applications from all businesses sectors, including community organisations. Interested businesses will benefit from straightforward loan conditions and a tailored offer to support their project.

Councillor Paul Oldham, Chair of HO(I)L, said: “Many Highland enterprises have been able to take their ventures forward with the help of HOIL but we’re always looking for new ones to help, be they large or small. Our team are here to help and can guide you through putting an application together.”

The social media campaign is due to start in March 2023 and will outline the features of the loan fund and will include case studies of businesses that have recently been supported by HO(I)L.
