Free drop-in business support and bookable one-to-one appointments
Fife Council’s Economic Development team and Business Gateway Fife are hosting a free local business support session at Dunfermline Business Centre on Thursday 9 July 2026.
The session is part of Fife Means Business: Let’s Talk Business, a series of local engagement events designed to make it easier for businesses to access practical advice, guidance and support.
Businesses are welcome to drop in on the day, with no appointment required. For those with specific points they would like to discuss, bookable 20-minute one-to-one appointments are also available.
How the session will work
Representatives from Fife Council Economic Development and Business Gateway Fife will be available throughout the day to speak with businesses, answer questions and provide practical signposting.
The event will operate as an informal drop-in session, so businesses can come along during the relevant session time. However, if you have a specific business issue, opportunity or question you would like to discuss, we recommend booking a 20-minute appointment in advance.
This will help advisers prepare and make sure you are directed to the most appropriate support.
