Business Glasgow is Glasgow City Council’s Business growth team within Economic Development. Business Glasgow has a team of dedicated business advisers to support both new and existing businesses, including social enterprises and co-operatives, in Glasgow who are looking to grow.
Our team offer support to new businesses from writing a business plan, understanding and accessing finance to establishing how to market and sell products or services.
We also support existing businesses looking to grow from identifying the right premises, penetrating new markets, to recruiting staff.
Business Glasgow provides new and existing businesses with advice, support and guidance to successfully grow and develop their business regardless of the business model adopted or the stage they are at on the business life cycle.
We work closely with public, private and third sector organisations across the business support landscape to ensure the businesses we work with have access to all the support they require to establish and grow their business.
