Find Business Support is a unique website that brings together all public sector support available to businesses in Scotland in one place.
Women’s Enterprise Scotland became its 100th partner with the Women’s Business Centre, joining local authorities, sector specific agencies, universities and other public bodies on the website.
Driven by Scotland’s economic development and skills agencies, including Scottish Enterprise, Find Business Support allows businesses of all sizes to browse Scotland’s public sector support options in one place, making it easier for firms to find the information, advice and support they need, when they need it.
The site is designed for businesses in Scotland to access public sector business support as easily as possible and was created at the request of the Scottish Government to provide more streamlined, effective support to help businesses and also includes sector specific agencies Creative Scotland and VisitScotland. It is delivered by the Business Support Partnership, a joint initiative consisting of Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise, South of Scotland Enterprise, Skills Development Scotland and Business Gateway and Scotland’s local authorities.
Support on Find Business Support includes advice, funding, networking opportunities, training and webinars. The selection changes daily as new services are launched, and out-of-date services unpublished.
Bronwen Thomas, Chief Operating Officer at Women’s Enterprise Scotland:
“We are delighted that Women’s Enterprise Scotland is Find Business Support’s 100th partner.
“Since we launched the Women’s Business Centre in 2020, our mission has been to provide free, needs based, gender specific business support to women from start-up through to growth stages of their business journey. If we are to close the gender gap in enterprise participation, we need to help women unlock their economic potential by giving them the tools they need to start up in business and thrive.
“Being part of Find Business Support allows us to broaden our reach even further by allowing even more women to access the tools which the Women’s Business Centre provides.”
