Advisors

There are national, publicly funded agencies whose principal role is to support business – these are called economic development agencies. Business Gateway operates across Scotland in local areas as do Scottish Enterprise, Highlands and Islands Enterprise and South of Scotland Enterprise.

Skills Development Scotland is the national agency for the development of skills and jobs, and oversees programmes such as apprenticeships and careers guidance. The best place to find out more about public agency support and the help you may be able to access is the Find Business Support site.
