Scottish Government funding is partly allocated to Scottish Enterprise in the form of loans to finance equity investments and the provision of loan finance to Scottish businesses. These loans are repayable over a period of up to 15 years (2025: 16 years). Although no interest is payable on these loans, any receipts generated by Scottish Enterprise from the underlying investments may be retained by Scottish Enterprise, subject to the approval of the Scottish Government.
