Please answer the following questions….

How does your business differ from the competition?

Delivering innovative workable solutions with a reliable personal service.

There are a lot of graphic designers, but very few decent, honest, hardworking, experienced and knowledgeable as I am and as dedicated to providing customer service.


In 100 words or less describe who your customers are and how you reach them.

Local people and local businesses who want to use a local designer. Google maps has provided me with a few. Personal business card distribution and contacts from the pub where I work part-time.

Very few businesses succeed after the first few years – what makes your business plan so robust?

Going at a pace and cost I can work with. Not risking anything financially and not being unrealistic in my aims and ambition. Stress management and self preservation.

I could walk away at any time and know that even after 9 months I have made a good profit without trying too hard.

Explain how the Mansfield Hive Business Innovation Programme helped you …

Gave me knowledge about business. Pointed me in the right direction. Helped me do a business plan. Gave me a leg to stand on if I need it. Provided a student card which will enable me to buy cheap software legitimately.

Gave me confidence and confirmed the feasibility of my business.
