Three of Scotland's best-known business figures – Willie Haughey, Michelle Mone and Martin Stepek – have pledged to mentor ambitious young companies entering the Evening Times Local Business Accelerator competition.
They will consider applications from local businesses between one and three years old, made via www.accelerateme.co.uk.
The deadline for entries is next week. Applicants will be assessed by the panel of business stars and, if short-listed, will receive free advice from them.
