Strategic Framework Business Fund (SFBF):
We don't collect the data for B&B & self-catering separately, they are listed as holiday accommodation, and so in accordance with section 17 of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 we can confirm this breakdown is not held.
We received 309 applications, 289 were successful, rejected 19 with one still being processed.
Business names are exempt under section 35(1) of the Freedom of Information (Scotland) Act 2002 'law enforcement', due to significant concern that this information, if released into the public domain, could be used to support a fraudulent application.
