In a large open plan office in a building in the Gorbals in Glasgow, small groups of people or individuals are hard at work.

There is a quiet buzz about the place. Some are on the phone, others looking at papers or their computer, some chatting.

Over the next few months, BBC Scotland will be following some of these businesses on their journey, through the highs and lows of setting up your own.
