A (Brief) Business Guide for the region of Galloway & Dumfries. Although mainly rural in aspect, the region has a wide range of business interests serving both the local sector and further afield.

As might be expected in a rural area, many jobs are created as a result of self-employment - the entrepeneur spirit is very much alive and well, especially in the Machars, Stewarty, Galloway and the eastern border region up towards Langholm, Moffat and surrounds.

However, the dramatic loss of the areas EU support status remains to be seen and felt in the region. Regardless of politics, the local workforce remains ready for new challenges and developments, with the use of new technologies finally starting to make an impact - thanks in no small part to the regions' web developers and related IT suppliers. Homeworking - 'electronic cottaging' continues to be a growth area across the region thanks to the wider availability of Broadband.

What is needed is more jobs coming into Dumfries & Galloway as a region, not just selected parts of it. With incredible scenery, great outdoor leisure facilities and opportunities, affordable housing and a large pool of labour willing to rise to any challenge, this area is the Natural Choice for new employment and employers to consider. With fast access to Regional Selective Assistance (typically 50% of your investment proposals), plus other incentives, this could be the ideal place to locate your new business venture in.
One major bonus is that we have very high quality Primary education, with a rapidly improving level of Secondary education. Pollution levels are minimal, and the crime rate is, compared to elsewhere, low, making this a good place to raise a family. And at the weekend...well, you have beaches, mountains, hills, lochs, activities...whatever you want to do outdoors, this is the Natural Place!
