Planning a business can feel like a daunting task at any time, but even more so now. But support is available online and across Scotland to help make it easier.
Our Planning to Start tool aims to take you through the practical steps to starting up a new business and helps identify the type of support you may need.
In under 10 mins you will answer some simple questions around your business idea and plans. After that we will signpost you to relevant sources of support and guidance. Your nearest local Business Gateway office will then be in touch within 3 working days to discuss it further and look at if a tailored action plan can help you.
