Head To Toe Health And Well-Being Services For Easter Ross
Highland Opportunity (Investments) Limited HOIL has recently provided Head to Toe Highland LLP with funding towards their ambitious business development plans. HOIL, The Highland Council’s business loan company, supports Highland based businesses and encourages applications from all business sectors, including community organisations. Interested businesses benefit from straightforward loan conditions and a tailored offer to support their project.
Head to Toe Highland LLP approached HOIL for a loan to achieve their business growth aspirations following the purchase of new business premises in Easter Ross. The funds are to be used to convert currently vacant commercial premises at 8 High Street in Alness to a shared business working space. This will house their two existing health and well-being professional practices and create office space to rent out to a local business. Their vision is to offer a collaborative space for health and well-being professionals in the heart of Alness, with the potential to expand and accommodate additional tenants.
Head to Toe Highland LLP is a new business partnership established by two successful businesspeople, who have recently purchased premises in the High Street in Alness. The premises are to be converted to provide a welcoming, functional, and private working environment for their professional practices: Highland Counselling & Psychotherapy Ltd, owned by Rae Moss and Ness Podiatry Ltd, owned by Julia Samuels-Howard, as well as creating additional office space for rental to another local business.
Highland Councillor Paul Oldham, Chair of HOIL said: "I welcome this opportunity to help Head to Toe Highland LLP purchase their new premises in Alness and it's good that Rae and Julia will now be able to expand their businesses to provide better services for the people of Easter Ross."
He added: “The Opportunity Fund from HOIL provides accessible and affordable finance for start-ups and growing businesses across the Highlands and is one of several funds we can use to help projects across the area.”
Rae Moss and Julia Samuels-Howard, partners of Head to Toe Highland LLP said: “HOIL's investment has allowed us to buy an empty lot on Alness High Street and bring additional services to the town and the surrounding area. Ness Podiatry and Highland Counselling and Psychotherapy will both be able to practice within Alness. This means that Alness and the surrounding areas will be able to benefit from Podiatry care and Psychotherapy and Counselling. We are also hoping to bring more business and more people to the High Street."
