Falkirk Council has today announced that it has expanded the eligibility criteria and increased the amount of grant funding available to local businesses.
With additional sectors such as personal services now eligible, increased maximum awards of up to £25,000 from both the Growth Fund and the Energy Efficiency Fund, and the opportunity to apply for more than one grant, this is the perfect time to put your plans for digital growth in place.
We’ve worked with many local businesses to access funding from Falkirk Council, and gone on to deliver projects which enhanced their digital presence and accelerated their growth.
Working hard to build success in the local community is kind of our favourite thing, so we’re happy to scope out the project you have in mind, and help you apply for funding.
But first – a few quick questions to check if you’re eligible:
- Are you operating, located, and actively trading from within the Falkirk Council area?
- Do you employ less than 250 people?
- Is your business not part of a franchise?
- Are you looking to grow or improve your business through digital investment?
Ticked those boxes? You could be eligible to apply.
We’re a full-service digital agency and can help with a wide range of eligible projects, including:
- E-commerce websites – sell products or services online
- Brochure websites – beautifully designed and mobile-friendly
- Online booking systems – reduce admin and let your customers book online
- Digital consultancy – we’ll advise on the right digital tools for your goals
- SEO and performance tracking – so you get found, and know what’s working
- Design and brand refresh – make your business stand out online
Case Study | Sleek, professional website for Skidz
Using the Digital Development Fund, we partnered with Skidz to deliver a full website project from the ground up. After an initial consultation to define the brief, we designed a bespoke homepage to bring their brand to life online. Our photographer captured custom imagery and video across multiple site visits, giving them high-quality content for both their website and social media.
We then built a fully custom 17-page WordPress website, using the approved homepage as the foundation. Each page featured tailored design, imagery, and iconography for a modern, consistent look. We also added custom functionality, including email-only e-commerce on their Alloys page and a third-party car registration check to improve user experience. The final result is a sleek, professional site that works hard for their business.
What Next?
The fund is open now – and applications are reviewed on a first-come, first-served basis. If you’re interested, we can:
