Free training is available for local businesses in everything from book keeping to social media and video production.
The council’s Business Gateway Service delivers training designed to help businesses start-up and grow.
It takes place in locations across ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ and Bute and covers a wide range of topics.
The council’s Policy Lead for Economic Growth, Councillor Alastair Redman, encouraged local businesses to take advantage of the support available.
He said: “We have talented people developing successful businesses across ¾ÅÐãÖ±²¥ and Bute. Starting up a business and keeping it growing can be extremely tough though, for example in developing new skills to keep up with emerging challenges or opportunities.
"This is where Business Gateway can help. The service provides practical training and support to help local businesses grow.
"Training is free, so I would encourage local companies, and anyone interested in starting up their own business, to find out how Business Gateway can help you.â€
