How Business Gateway Helped get Orkney baker on a roll

ADVERTORIAL: A Scandinavian bakery has launched in Orkney following start-up support from Business Gateway.

Launched in 2019 after Swedish chef Karin Jonsson moved to Kirkwall to pursue her dream of starting a small bakery, Orkney Sourdough Co produces artisan breads with Scandinavian flavours and is thriving following support from Business Gateway.

Apprehensive about launching a business in a new country, Karin turned to Business Gateway and met with an adviser who offered a range of start-up
support services, including marketing advice and assistance with a business plan. In addition to regular one-to-one meetings, Business Gateway supported
Karin’s successful application for a New Business Start-Up Grant from Orkney Islands Council. She was awarded £1500, which funded the purchase of a baking
oven which in turn has increased bread production by fifty percent a day.
