Helping businesses manage the impacts of coronavirus (COVID-19)
During these unprecedented times we recognise that things are tough for your business. We’re working closely with our partners to develop a single, joined-up response across Scotland’s enterprise and skills agencies, delivering the Scottish Government’s commitment to do all we can to safeguard jobs, livelihoods and businesses.
Business sustainability
Sustainability means developing the capacity to endure. In the wake of COVID-19, this has never been more important.
Find out about the benefits of sustainable business practises and how we can help you work more efficiently, build resilience and take advantage of low carbon and climate change opportunities.
Operate after Brexit
A trade deal between the EU and UK has been agreed. As a result, changes to business operations came into force from 1 January 2021. To ensure your business can continue to operate after EU exit, keep up-to-date with new guidance and regulations.
Resources, events and funding can be found on the Prepare for Brexit website.
