A majority of Scottish firms are feeling more optimistic about their expected volume of business over the next six months, according to a new survey.
The latest Addleshaw Goddard Business Monitor report – produced in partnership with the University of Strathclyde’s Fraser of Allander Institute – suggests sentiment has improved since the last quarter of 2020 despite challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic and trade lost due to Brexit.
More than 500 Scottish firms responded to the survey, and 89% said they are confident their chance of survival over the next six months is somewhat or very likely – up from 79% in the previous survey – with 25% expecting a positive year, compared to 8% in the previous quarter.
