If you run a business in Scotland
or if you are thinking of setting up a new business
in Scotland we hope that you will find this site
both interesting and useful.
It has been designed to help you find
local firms and business support organisations who
will be happy to give you friendly advice as well
as provide the services that you may need.
Local
Firms
Although
there are plenty of online business directories,
it can sometimes be quite difficult to find LOCAL
companies who are genuinely keen to support you.
For example if you are based in Scotland, it makes
sense to use an accountant, web designer or printer
based in Scotland who is prepared to help small
businesses or new business start ups.
