HIE, SE and SDI work in partnership with Business Gateway in Scotland to provide a range of products and services that can be accessed by companies at all stages of growth, development and international aspiration. In consultation with specialist business advisors, you will be directed towards the support and assistance that is most appropriate according to your size, capability and stage of development.

Companies at the early stages of development who have perhaps some way to go before being in a position to engage in international markets can access a comprehensive catalogue of services and information via Business Gateway including:

• Online self-help tools
• Practical guides to exporting
• Industry overviews and regulations

This way, you will be able to assess your current potential to do business internationally and to identify the measures necessary to enable you to take the next steps toward global trade.

For more information visit Business Gateway’s international services  or call 0845 609 6611 to speak to an advisor.
