Enterprise Support Services For Rural Scotland
We are the leading independent provider of enterprise support services for micro-businesses, social enterprises and the self-employed in rural Scotland.
Setting up, growing or diversifying your business can be a daunting prospect: there is so much to find out about, so much to do and there can be days you wonder why you thought this would be a good idea? That's where we can help.
We're here to support you if you want to talk through how to adapt or diversify your current business; if you have recently been made redundant and are looking for help to develop your idea into a business or if you are leaving education and need guidance on getting started.
Please browse through our services below and if you can’t find what you are looking for, or perhaps you’re not sure where to start, get in touch and we’ll arrange for one of our friendly team to call you.
All our services are free to any micro-enterprise or social enterprise in rural Scotland.
“GrowBiz has helped me in so many ways from one to one individual support to providing valuable online resources to help me start my business idea. I would highly recommend the team for their professionalism and knowledge but especially their personable manner and approach to helping new and growing businesses.”
