1 Grant offers accepted July September 2010

2 Grant offers accepted July September 2010 (RSA) is the main national scheme of financial assistance to industry. It provides discretionary grants to investment projects that will create and safeguard employment in the Assisted Areas areas designated for regional aid under European Community law. It also includes Tier 3 assistance in other designated areas where we can offer support to Small and Medium-sized Enterprises (SMEs), delivered under the EC s General Block Exemption Regulations. The attached table details the RSA offers accepted in the three months to end September In this period 32 businesses in Scotland accepted RSA grant offers totalling over 14.8 million. These offers relate to projects with planned investment of over 42.4 million, aimed at the planned creation and safeguarding of nearly 2,000 jobs. Tier 3 accepted offers are marked with an *. Payment of RSA is made in instalments, typically over several years as job and capital expenditure targets are met. Not all projects will proceed, and nor do all accepted offers result in full payment, as projects are sometimes scaled down or abandoned before payments are made. The figures quoted in the tables, therefore, represent the maximum grant potentially payable if the project is satisfactorily completed, and not the amount actually paid to date. All job numbers given in this report are firms forecast figures, and are subject to change depending on future economic conditions and other factors affecting the businesses concerned.
