Colin Mason, Darja Reuschke

Research output: Book/Report › Commissioned report

Abstract

This report provides the first ever profile of home-based businesses in Scotland. It is based on a survey of the Scottish membership of the Federation of Small Businesses. It has two objectives: first, to present new information on the scale and nature of the home-based business sector in Scotland and in so doing to challenge some myths about the sector; and second, to propose ways in which local and national government in Scotland can support this unrecognised sector of the economy.
