Advice

Our free, specialist advice service offers creative businesses and practitioners working within the creative industries, the opportunity to discuss and develop their ideas with an Adviser in a one-to-one session.
On initial contact with the service we would generally recommend an advice session with one of our four Regional Advisers based in Dundee, Edinburgh and Glasgow to explore and discuss your needs.

After an initial consultation, your needs will be assessed and you may be signposted to our expert pool of Creative Industry or Specialist Business Advisers.

We have Creative Industry Advisers covering the following sectors: community arts, dance, design, factual TV, fashion & textiles, film, games & apps, literature, music industry, music production & collaboration, performance, product design & photography, screen industries & animation, TV drama and visual arts.

Our Specialist Business Advisers cover: digital development, equalities, finance, human resources, legal, marketing, press & publicity, property, retail and VAT.

Sessions are subject to referral and the availability of our pool of part-time and independent advisers. All sessions are appointment-based and are strictly private and confidential. 

If you require any support in accessing our advice service, further information can be found in our Accessibility Statement.
