Business Advice On Hand

Anyone thinking of establishing a business in Shetland can expect to have access to a full range of advice, as we explain here.

However, there are also one-off events designed to help business newcomers. In early October, for example, a business breakfast will be hosted by Iain Scott, Chair of Highland Venture Capital, a ‘business angel’ network based in Inverness, whose 40 members have, between them, invested some £1.3m in eight new start-ups across the region. At the end of the month, there’s a free session focusing on how to use the media to benefit your business. Jill Franklin of Franklin Rae Communications will suggest ways of identifying the right media, getting your message across; how to influence what it written and reported; understanding the deadlines of particular publications; and what to do when things don’t turn out quite as you’d hoped. Events like these help to ensure that local entrepreneurs are well-briefed on business trends and know where to get further help.
