Introducing Scotland’s Business Fund & Grant Finder
Across Scotland, businesses are looking for ways to reduce emissions, operate more sustainably and prepare for a cleaner transport future.
For some, that could mean switching company vehicles to electric. For others, it may involve installing workplace charging, upgrading existing infrastructure or preparing larger fleets for electrification.
A range of grants, funding programmes and support resources are available to help businesses make that transition. These can support areas such as EV charging, fleet decarbonisation, rural infrastructure, skills and training.
With support available through a number of different organisations, knowing what is available, what your business may be eligible for and where to apply can be difficult.
Introducing Scotland’s Business Fund & Grant Finder
EZO has created Scotland’s Business Fund & Grant Finder to bring key funding and support opportunities together in one easy-to-use space.
The page gives Scottish businesses and organisations a simple overview of available schemes, who they are aimed at, their current status and where to apply. It is designed to support SMEs, larger businesses, charities, third-sector organisations and others looking to invest in cleaner transport, infrastructure and technology.
Funding can come from a range of sources, including the Energy Saving Trust, Transport Scotland, the UK Government and local authorities. The Fund & Grant Finder helps organisations browse the support available, then directs them to the relevant official source for full details, eligibility criteria and applications.
The page also highlights wider support services, including organisations such as SCARF, a Scottish social enterprise and charity that helps households, businesses and public-sector organisations reduce energy costs, cut carbon emissions and access practical sustainability support.
By bringing funding opportunities and useful support services together in one place, the aim is to make it easier for Scottish organisations to understand what help is available and take the next step.
Supporting sustainability and ESG goals
Cleaner transport can play an important role in wider sustainability and Environmental, Social and Governance (ESG) strategies.
Switching to electric vehicles and installing charging infrastructure can help businesses reduce transport-related emissions, support employees and customers, and contribute towards wider environmental commitments.
Investing in cleaner technology can require significant upfront investment, which is where grants, funding and other support can make a real difference. Accessing the right support can help reduce initial costs and allow businesses to move forward with their sustainability plans sooner.
The benefits can also extend into communities across Scotland by improving access to charging infrastructure, encouraging cleaner transport and helping businesses in both rural and urban areas take part in the transition.
Where EZO can help
Finding funding is one part of the process. Delivering the infrastructure is the next.
Businesses can apply directly for the relevant funding scheme, and EZO can support the installation of the charging infrastructure that follows.
From selecting the right charging units through to installation and ongoing support, we can help deliver a solution that works for your business.

Making support easier to access
The aim of the Funding & Grant Finder is to make it easier for Scottish businesses and organisations to understand what support is available and where to access it.
Funding opportunities, eligibility criteria and application deadlines can change, so the Finder directs businesses to the official funding provider for the latest information and guidance.
By bringing these opportunities together in one place, we hope to help more organisations across Scotland explore cleaner transport and take steps towards their sustainability goals.
