How is the cost of doing business affecting you?

Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce knows that Scottish businesses continue to face great challenges following the pandemic and in the face of the cost of doing business crisis, which continues to run in tandem with a growing cost of living crisis.

As business costs continue to rise, with interest rates and inflation set only to increase further, we’re asking Scottish businesses just like yours to share with us your perspective, comments and experiences of current trading conditions.

Our quarter 3 Quarterly Economic Indicator survey highlighted that businesses are facing a whirlwind of pressures including increased input costs, inflationary hikes, mis-judged economic policy choices by the UK Government and increased pessimism over the global economic outlook.

That is why we need your feedback to share directly with government at both Holyrood and Westminster, to inform and influence considered policy decisions that support businesses like yours.

We continue to push for support for your business on a variety of issues: business rates, energy costs and labour shortages among others. It is your feedback that guides and strengths our push to government.

Please take just a few minutes of your time to share your views, by taking our survey today and we can keep pressing on the issues that matter to you: https://bit.ly/SCCQEIQ42022

Thank you for your feedback, and time, during these uncertain times,

The Ayrshire Chamber of Commerce team
