I now trade regularly at markets and have a thriving website for sales. The support from Business Wales has been invaluable.
Determined to build a better life as an unemployed sole parent, Sami Gibson decided to start her entrepreneurial journey with us at Business Wales, to get started on creating her own business.
Located in a rural location without a laptop or internet connectivity, Sami found setting up her own business was initially unachievable. However, with the expertise and 1-2-1 support from her business advisor, Sami was able to develop her business plan, cash flow projection and complete the Barriers to Start up Grant application form for her business, Roots.
As a result, Sami was successful and awarded the full amount of the application, enabling her to purchase equipment and marketing materials for the business. Roots now grows and sells herbs as well as other plants sustainably, additionally creating blends such as stuffing herb mix with wild bilberries, a nasturtium salt, and pizza sauce herbs.
We're happy to hear that Roots achieved 8 sales on the first day of the website being up and Sami is now being referred to Superfast Business Wales for a website review.
