Fife Means Business: Let’s Talk Business – Dunfermline

Free drop-in business support and one-to-one appointments for Fife businesses

Fife Council’s Economic Development team and Business Gateway Fife are bringing practical business support directly to local businesses through a series of informal engagement sessions.

Businesses are welcome to drop in during the session to speak with advisers and find out more about the support available. If there are specific points you would like to discuss, we recommend booking a one-to-one appointment in advance to make sure the right support can be provided.

Appointments and drop-in support are free and open to businesses at all stages.
