Business in Edinburgh
Fund managers such as Baillie Gifford, NatWest Group's Gogarburn headquarters and Lloyds Banking Group's Scottish Widows and Bank of Scotland make the Scottish capital one of the UK's largest financial centres outside London. The August festivals and year-round tourism drive hotels, restaurants and short lets, and the University of Edinburgh's informatics research has fed software firms such as Skyscanner.
Where software helps: Edinburgh's hotels, tour operators and short-let managers face extreme August peaks, needing bookings, payment reconciliation and staff rotas tied together, while small fund and advisory firms need fee billing with compliance records.

05 — FAQ
Custom software in Edinburgh: common questions
Do you build custom ERP and AI software for businesses in Edinburgh?
Yes, remotely. Flip Retail is a software studio in Jaipur, India, with no office in Edinburgh; discovery happens on video calls and you get working software every two weeks.
How do time zones work between Edinburgh and Jaipur?
Jaipur is 5 h 30 min ahead of Edinburgh on standard time, and 4 h 30 min ahead during daylight saving time there. A 09:00 start there is 14:30 in Jaipur. Standard 09:00–18:00 office days overlap by 3 h 30 min to 4 h 30 min, which is enough for live calls, demos and same-day answers.
What would a first project look like for a financial services business?
Usually one module that fixes the most expensive problem first. For financial services & fintech that is often onboarding & KYC workflows and loan and policy lifecycle. It goes live early, and the rest of the system follows in two-week increments while your team is already using it.
