Business Networking in Scotland

[Scottish Business Owner]

Networking your business in Scotland offline is a very effective way of marketing and promoting your business. Just like online networking it's all about the relationship, get to know people and try and provide some useful advice or contacts, it's important you're not too salesy initially. There are many networking companies operating throughout Scotland and this thread will hopefully summarise the main choices you have. It's important to note that not all networking companies are the same with some very informal and others very structured. Most companies will allow you a free visit or two to try and establish if that particular network will suit you. We have listed what we believe are the most popular networking companies throughout Scotland. If you feel we have missed something out then please feel free to contact us.
