I have been so let down by Business Gateway. It seems so many others have too.
We need to know where all this funding is going as it is certainly not going to where it should. So many ‘mentors’ …..doing what? Someone please give me just one genuine success story about the help BG are giving! … And it’d not just BG ….Enterprize Zone … And so many others letting small business down …..

All those let down by BG need to get together and make someone accountable for this terrible apathy…

Business gateway has been up to this for years, using public funds to promote their pals in private enterprise.
I remember they came to our town giving free training in ecommerce! As if they knew anything about it!

At that time they were promoting Easyspace and that mob of shysters IOMart who offer dodgy SEO and don’t let you cancel your account. No doubt a few people got wealthy with the help of Business Gateway, while lots and lots of
Scottish consumer overpaid for their domain names, web hosting and SEO, and lots of local web companies had to spend time and effort re-educating people after Business Gateway moved on to their next pet project.

VisitScotland are similar. They promote Scottish business by getting their websites built in England and hosted in Germany. They damage the web economy by sponsoring websites that should be firmly in the private sector, and outsourcing that work elsewhere, sometimes overseas rather than allowing the market to work in the way it should. The web economy in this country is only now starting to recover from the damage this type of activity has caused us.
