HIE Digital Advice Grant Support

Access up to £5,000 in funding to unlock smarter systems and better ways of working.

HIE’s Digital Specialist Advice Grant offers organisations based in the Highlands and Islands area up to £5,000 towards the cost of digital specialist advice.

At inpurpose, we help you turn that funding into something meaningful through practical support that maps where digital tools and smarter systems can make a real impact on your business and your team.

This grant covers 1-2-1 consultancy to scope and plan digital improvements.

That might include:

  • Automations to cut admin and save time

  • Smarter systems for team visibility and task tracking

  • AI tools to improve decision-making or speed up delivery

  • Better team structures, rhythms and workflows

Read more about the grant on the HIE website.

Why work with us

We know it takes strategy, systems and people working together to make real change happen. That’s why we help you figure out what will actually make a difference to how your business runs, then we build the structure around it so it sticks.

We’re hands-on, practical and focused. We support you to:

  • Scope your project and prepare your grant brief

  • Provide a quote and outline proposal for your application

  • Deliver a feasibility study or action plan once funding is approved

Start with our complimentary mini business audit

We get what it’s like to be spinning all the plates and never finding time to sort out your systems. We also know what it’s like to have great people but the structures and ways of working are holding them back.

That’s why we offer a free mini audit to help you shape your consultancy project for the HIE grant.

It’s quick and practical. We’ll:

  • Do a mini review on how your team, systems and tools are working now

  • Spot opportunities to use automation, AI or better digital tools

  • Share where small improvements could make a big difference

You’ll walk away with a rough scope you can use in your grant application.

If it makes sense to include us as one of your three quotes - great. If not, the audit’s yours to keep.

Don’t miss the opportunity

This is a brilliant chance to get expert support funded, but the grant won’t be available forever. It’s limited and awarded on a first-come basis, so if you’re thinking about applying, now’s the time to get your project scoped and ready to go.
