The Board helps businesses of all sizes to use more Welsh. There has been a very visible increase in the use of Welsh by businesses over the last decade, especially on the high street. We help businesses to use Welsh by:

• Helping businesses to plan and manage their use of Welsh

The Welsh Language Policy Template helps to assess the use of Welsh in business, and to plan and manage increase over time.

• Helping people to use Welsh at work

Link Line to Welsh offers free short translations and proof-reading. We also manage the Working Welsh (Iaith Gwaith) scheme, a symbol for customers to recognise that staff can speak Welsh.
