Do Business in Shetland

Do Business In Shetland

In these pages, we sketch out some of the possibilities for setting up in business in our islands. If you happen to be a lawyer who loves bird-watching, a web developer who’s into yachting, a chef who wants to escape to stunning coastal walks or an engineer who moonlights as a fiddler, Shetland might be the place for you.

Maybe you already have a business that you could operate successfully from Shetland and you’re simply looking for a more congenial place in which to base yourself. Or maybe you’re at a turning point; you want to do something fresh and you think you’d like to set up a completely new business here. Either way, we have some tips. We explain the various business support services that are available in the islands and we look at the experiences of some of those who’ve made the move.

One industry that we’d like to do more to stimulate is film. If you’re contemplating a project that might use Shetland as a location either for the whole story or for an individual scene, we’d be very happy to help. We explain how we can.
