Midlothian's modern business locations set standards for flexibility and affordability and have provided beneficial new uses for land released by the demise of traditional industries.

New business parks and industrial estates have recently been developed by the private and public sectors, bringing a variety of quality commercial and industrial premises and sites to the area. For information on sites or property within Midlothian please contact: John Beveridge.

An integrated package of business support for both start-up and established businesses has been developed by Midlothian Council and its enterprise partners. Support is tailored to the needs of each individual business covering a range of issues from sources of financial assistance, marketing, training, environmental management, information technology and exporting.
