Event Description

Thinking about starting your own business? Join us for an inspiring and honest panel discussion with three Scottish business owners who’ve navigated the highs and lows of starting-up and running a business.

In this panel webinar, we’ll explore:

  • What it’s really like to run a business
  • The everyday challenges SMEs face—from staffing to logistics
  • How customer expectations are shifting and how businesses are adapting
  • Real-world insights on scaling, planning for the future, and accessing funding
  • What support Scotland needs to become a more SME-friendly nation.

You’ll also hear what advice they’d give to anyone starting up today.

Whether you’re just beginning to explore self-employment or ready to take the first step, this session will give you practical insights, relatable stories, and the motivation to get started.
