Glasgow City Council leader Susan Aitken has described the city's smaller businesses as the "lifeblood of our economy" as she admits they have faced challenging times in recent years.
The city has a great selection of independent businesses who offer Glaswegians a variety of unique products from vintage antiques to smaller family run cafés.
But recent events including Brexit, the pandemic and cost of living crisis, has sent some businesses in a downwards spiral as they struggle to make ends meet - forcing them to close.
