The new chair of CBI Scotland tells Graham Stewart about her priorities for business.

Presented by Graham Stewart.

The new chair of CBI Scotland, Linda Urquhart, talks about her priorities for business in her first radio interview.

Gillian Sharpe reports on how SMEs are turning to alternative sources of finance to keep their heads above water.

But cash isn't necessarily king. Wayne Sharp, the founder and CEO of Bartercard, explains why companies might want to barter goods and services instead of using money.

And Paul Reynolds talks about his role as a 'Saltire Fellow'. A charity backed by Scottish Enterprise, the Saltire Foundation takes aspiring business leaders to America to study at a prestigious business school before spending three months working with blue-chip organisations. Now that he's back home, Paul tells us how he's using his skills to help a high-growth Scottish company.
