This podcast features audio from our events where we discuss the challenges facing three start-up businesses as they battle through the early stages of business life.
No spin, no fabrication and no punches pulled; this is a warts and all reality of business life.
Gavin White of Fraser Brown Solicitors outlines social enterprise and the common misunderstandings that surround the hot topic.
Expert Steve Marjoram of RSM Tenon discusses the negatives of being a small retailer trying to seek out credible suppliers and funding, to building relationships and ultimately transferring the challenges into positives.
Amanda Waring of Mama Jewels, fishbowl2 (@fish2em) asks about funding and how to price her products with margins constantly being squeezed.
The next question comes from Carl Benfield of Prescient Power, fishbowl3 (@fish3em). Would being a social enterprise be viewed negatively by larger corporations?
Let the questions begin! We start with a concern from fishbowl1, Mike and Bea from Better Languages; Public Relations: Where is the line between online and offline?
We are introduced to the expert panel who will give advice on the topics discussed.
Panel of experts: Susan Hallam - Hallam Communications - Internet marketing consultant Greg Simpson - Press For Attention PR - PR consultant Rosie Garwood - Reflection Consulting - Teamwork Specialist Steve Marjoram - RSM Tenon - Accountants Gavin White - Fraser Brown - Solicitors
