However, this isn't necessarily the best way to survive recession as companies such as HMV have shown by thriving and expanding while their competition falls by the wayside.

As bank support declines it is only natural that many businesses will consider reducing their Research and Development spend, however for some companies with an innovative idea the new approach to innovation support from both The Scottish Government and Scottish Enterprise will be very welcome.
Long seen as an extremely valuable support mechanism the Smart Award scheme has been simplified and made non competitive. The result is that if your business has a genuinely innovative idea requiring the use of or invention of new technology you could qualify for as much as £70,000 in support (subject to a maximum support level of 75% of total project spend). Applications can be submitted at any time of year ensuring that the application process fits in with your business requirements rather than those of the awarding body.
