The Green Business Grant is a non-repayable grant of up to £10,000, which will cover up to 50% of the total cost of a project. The funding can be used for any project that helps businesses reduce their energy bills and make progress towards achieving net zero carbon emissions.

The grant aims to help businesses in Glasgow deal with both the cost of living and climate crises by adopting measures that focus energy efficiency, renewables, active travel and waste management.

This project is part funded by the UK government through the UK Shared Prosperity Fund.

To be eligible for the grant, your business must:

• be a small or medium-sized enterprise (as defined in the Companies Act 2006)
• have been trading for at least 6 months
• have a Glasgow postcode and pay non-domestic rates in Glasgow
• be headquartered in Glasgow
• own its own premises in Glasgow, or have written permission from your landlord to make changes to the premises and seek planning permissions from Glasgow City Council Planning Division for these works

Organisations based outside Glasgow are not eligible. Businesses whose main base is within the city boundary cannot use the grant to improve premises or create jobs outside Glasgow.

Businesses that are owned by another business with more than a 25% stake are not eligible.

The grant will cover up to 50% of the total cost of a project, to a maximum of £10,000. You'll need to be able to cover the rest of the cost from other sources.

Glasgow businesses in any sector.

The grant will close to new applications on 30 September 2025 or when the budget is fully allocated, whichever is earlier.

You'll be contacted within 10 working days of submitting your completed online application.
