How Business Gateway has helped

After launching in October 2018, Everything Hygiene worked closely with Business Gateway to receive a wide range of start-up support that included one-to-one sessions with a business adviser, marketing, funding and premises assistance, advice on creating a business plan and assistance with networking opportunities.

Des Stevenson, Director of Everything Hygiene said: “Working closely with Business Gateway has been fantastic for the business, allowing us to expand at a much faster rate than if we had been without support.

“From helping to widen our professional network to receiving much needed consultancy support, which was a crucial factor in helping us attain capital funding, the varied support we have received has given us the confidence and skills needed to take our business to new heights.”

Charlie Morton, business advisor at Business Gateway East Dunbartonshire commented: “By providing a bespoke programme of support for Everything Hygiene, combining start-up guidance with expert support in business planning, Business Gateway was able to help them obtain crucial funding, focus on business development and widen their network of local contacts.”
