The search is on to find Scotland's best new businesses, with the launch of this year's StartUp Awards National Series.
Now in its second year, the inaugural awards saw more than 2,500 entries nationally, which were whittled down to 900 finalists that between them generated £300m annually and employed over 5,000 people.
Organised by the team behind the Great British Entrepreneur Awards, the series aims to recognise the achievements of individuals who have had a great idea, spotted the opportunity and taken risks to launch a new product or service.
