Here at Business Gateway Moray, we appreciate that developing your business can be as daunting as starting it. We also understand that many small business owners feel they are too busy running their business to improve or develop it.
You are not alone, however – we are here to support you, and can often assist you to make developments that help to save time, stress, and money in the long term.
In addition to our core start-up and growth, we have a number of areas where we offer specialist support.
There are many ways we can support your start-up journey.
Our Planning To Start tool is a great place to begin. It takes just 10 minutes to complete and provides you with an instant toolkit with key resources & information. We'll then connect you with a member of the team at our local office for further support.
Our website offers a business plan guide and template to download when you’re ready, market reports and research, as well as handy online guides and articles, video tutorials and podcasts. Plus, we have a great range of webinars to hone your start-up skills – from writing a business plan to marketing on a budget.
With our help, you could be in business sooner than you imagined.
Our 1:1 advice, online resources and webinars can help you plan, adapt and grow.
We know that your time is in short supply, so we offer 1:1 advice at a time and day to suit you. Together, you and your business adviser can create a strategic action plan to suit your ambitions.
Our online resources and webinars can help you learn new skills, create opportunities and gain confidence. From HR to restructuring, innovation and digital marketing - we can help. And if specialist input is required, we can connect you to other sources of support.
Access webinars, online guides and a Digital Health Check.
From digital marketing strategy to social media, e-Commerce, cyber security and more, we can help boost your digital performance.
Our Digital Health Check is a great place to start. It will help pinpoint your digital strengths, areas you could improve, and how we can help, and it only takes 5 minutes to complete.
At Business Gateway Moray we believe in providing you with the advice and support that you need in order to develop your business to its fullest potential.
If required, Business Gateway’s growth clients may access additional time from local experts in order to develop business strategies in particular areas of business specialisms and key sectors.
Whether you are looking for investment to develop or start your business, our Business Gateway advisers are on hand to help.
We appreciate that taking on a member of staff – particularly for the first time – is something many businesses find daunting, but our Business Gateway advisers provide free, personal, local support to guide you through the recruitment process.
