We run a bed and breakfast in Aviemore and have had our busiest year ever. Tourism is thriving in Scotland. We'll be watching this page for more good news.

Was at the presentation in Kilbarchan. In a word, inspiring! When the facts, the real facts, not Westminster's, on Scotland's economy are explained you will be shocked and possibly angry at how you have been misled.

The true voice of Scottish business. We are being bombarded by the negative spin from the bitter lot and cannot deny the words of our business owners. Well done! If only the media and msm would listen to you, we may be fed lies and fear by Westminster but Scotland is waking up and the bitter lot are being found out. Yes all the way!

The event was well researched. The figures matches those I had seen elsewhere, and Gordon was able to answer questions on a variety of subjects from the assembled crowd. Everybody left with the same view - an excellent night and more events like this are needed to allow people to see the facts and debate the issues.

THIS is where it’s at. BfS has a wealth of business experience and knowledge. Have a look back to 2014/15 to see what has been forecasted by Gordon and BfS. Incredible accuracy. This country and the rUK could have been in an entirely better state had the media followed BfS. Instead they backed the Tories.

Superb website. Great Information However we wont win over the uber unionists who can tsee past their old boys club. No Matter though I firmly believe that YES will win through in the end. Then the wailing will start.

Scotland is becoming a becoming a business hub. I have a hot and perfect name Scotland Stockexchange in(.) com. best time to avail this. Chances never comes again and again. Come on Godaddy to avail. Best of luck Scotlack

Love to share the positive information about our Scottish economy. Wonderful work, keep it up, it is much appreciated.

Its a collection of business people and owners for independence. Collectively open discussions are held to debate the merits of the referendum. As well as many people taking a great deal of time, to look through the data, and find the REAL facts that should influence the outcome.



I recommend anyone join, we dont take things at face value and we welcome all perspectives and experiences in. As well as to talk over the scope of the future and what can be achieved with the right controls and proper democracy.

I AM excited BY this idea of a vision of empowerment for our beautiful country. Tonight I created a space to find out the truth about the potential of an independent Scotland and tonight I AM beyond excited by the possibilities that are REAL. I was unaware NOW I AM enlighhtened. I will be making it my personal business to raise awareness about the truth to Health Wealth and Happiness as an independent Scotland. Create a space and atleast be be CURIOUS.Find out more BY listening to this inspired video....talking Key language VISION, PURPOSE, HEALTH, WEALTH, HAPPINESS, UNSCERTAINTITY like Business for Scotland

I choose the positive energy of YES rather than the FEAR based NO.

Do you have a business in Scotland? Do you believe In the strength of the people?

If so your not alone. Vote YES this September. Help us all be in charge of our destinies

Definitely recommend going to a Business for Scotland meeting if you can for info about the Referendum. Some great speakers and very helpful!

Brilliant

As a business owner in Scotland I think it is good that some of us are openly speaking about the benefits of independence. I am choosing to vote YES but that is my choice. Naturally there will be others who don't agree, as is their right. Of course this is a pro-independence FB page - the clue is in the page title!

Where is subtitles and where is British sign language on your video about bretix video for deaf audience in Scotland and where our equality access??

We need politicians with some vision, infrastructure our own airline. I was in Copenhagen airport it was a fantastic international hub How come Denmark can do It??

Shouldn't be helping the independence cause as its not going to happen

Not very truthful and won't comment on the facts. A front for the SNP only and not for business people in Scotland.

I used to be a no voter, then I saw this website, and saw the clever way in which they presented and twisted all the facts, and the extent to which Scotland was being deceived by a bunch of nationalist, paper pushing, spin merchants and made me even more against the seperatists. You present your facts in a colorful simple format to hide the fact that they're not actually facts. Perfect example setting all studies on Scottish figures from 32 years (a suspicious date) or taking figures for oil, from a year of particularly high prices and high yield. Or constantly talking about the Norweigan and icelandic economies without knowing much about them (or at least not even touching on the true picture). You make Assad's public press like damm right honest!
