Loans allow firms to get tech savvy

A £2 million loan scheme has been launched to help businesses improve their digital skills and technology.

Companies will be able to apply for a digital development loan to improve staff skills or invest in areas such as cyber security.

The Scottish Government loan for small and medium sized businesses will have a 0 per cent interest rate, helping firms to spread the cost of investment over three to five years. The loan will be managed by Lanarkshire Enterprise Services.
