The Business Gateway service across Scotland is being responsive and reactive to the needs and challenges Scottish businesses face due to the Coronavirus/COVID-19. Where possible, we are putting in place actions to allow us to deliver a virtual advisory and workshop service. In the meantime our advisers can offer free support with a wide range of business matters including continuity planning, managing cashflow and dealing with suppliers. We also have a number of online resources already available in the way of a business continuity webinar, guides on working from home and links to other resources and news.
We will continue to adapt and develop our support programme as this situation continues. In the meantime have a look at our website and speak to your local Business Gateway office for further support.
