Lot Information

Lot 1

Highlands and Islands Enterprise requires a suitably qualified and experienced supplier to provide the support entrepreneurs need to establish successful businesses, help develop a "Start-Up" scene in the HIE area and support young businesses to overcome the risks and challenges faced at an early stage whilst encouraging young people who have ambitious business ideas to remain in the Highland Council area or move their enterprise to the Highland Council area.
