How sanctions could affect your support
To comply with UK Government sanctions legislationopens in a new window and Scottish Government guidance around trading with Russiaopens in a new window, Scottish Enterprise will carry out sanctions checks on your company, shareholders and, in some cases, directors. We may ask you about the nature of your trading and/or investment links with Russia and Belarus.
Depending on the outcome of these checks, Scottish Enterprise may decide not to support you or your company, or to terminate existing support.
