After fleeing the Ukraine war and relocating to Wales, Oleksandra Ivanchenko was determined to restart her business, Mimimade.ua, which manufactures and sells soft toys.
Having to start the business again from scratch, she contacted Business Wales for start-up support, enabling her to rebuild her business in Wales. Her advisor supported on the business’s finances, taxes and marketing, as well as provided access to the translation of the Start-up webinar in Ukrainian.
Having fled the war in Ukraine, I am very grateful to Business Wales for the support provided in starting my own business.
As Oleksandra was eligible to apply for the Barriers to Start-up Grant for 25-year-olds and over, her advisor supported with the application process. She successfully received the funding, which enabled her to purchase a sewing machine and a sewing table, allowing Oleksandra to start trading in Wales!
