Business support from Highlands and Islands Enterprise

As the economic and community development agency for the north and west of Scotland, Highlands and Islands Enterprise (HIE) can support businesses looking to locate in the Highlands and Islands. 

We have a wealth of knowledge, great connections and partnerships, as well as a suite of business interventions including specialist advice, funding and property options to help you make the move. 

We work in a diverse region which extends from Shetland to Argyll, and from the Outer Hebrides to Moray, covering more than half of Scotland’s land mass.

We want the Highlands and Islands to be a highly successful, inclusive and prosperous region in which increasing numbers of people choose to live, work, study, invest and visit.
