Orkney Business

Orkney really does do the business when it comes to supporting those who run their own.

There are advice centres to help start, develop and support business, offering advice on all aspects of running a business, including help to access funding which may be available locally, and training in a range of relevant areas.  Relocating here is easy with a range of services to get you on your way.

And once you are set up, there are a range of groups to represent, support or help you market your business whether it be in tourism, food and drink, energy, construction, fishing, farming or crafts.

Helping each other succeed is part of Orkney life.
