SMEs across Scotland are signing up to Think Finance, sponsored by the Royal Bank of Scotland (20th March 08, Glasgow Hilton Hotel) – a half day event aimed at giving small businesses financial strength.

With seminars ranging from how to make the most of the 2014 Commonwealth Games to the seven deadliest sins of finance and how to avoid them, Think Finance is aimed at getting right to the heart of the survival and growth of any business.

During February, online registration for this event is free at www.think-finance.net  

The seminar comes comes on the back of measures passed in the SNP minority administration’s first Budget.120,000 of Scotland’s smallest businesses will be exempted from business rates from April 2009, a year earlier than expected as the Government agrees to fast track the implementation of the scheme by going directly to year two in April 2008.
