“The support and guidance from Business Wales has really helped me on my business journey so far.”
Entrepreneur Eleri Hughes was passionate about making natural lip balms and deodorants to sell on artisan markets.
Eleri approached Business Wales for start-up support to gain a general understanding of how to run a business. She attended our start-up webinars and received one-on-one guidance from her advisor on business planning, marketing, GDPR, financial management, and funding opportunities.
Eligible to apply for the Barriers to Start-up Grant for 25-year-olds and over, Eleri’s advisor reviewed her business plan and application for submission and, as a result, successfully received the funding.
With the combination of expert advice and funding granted, Eleri could start her business, Shanti Retreats. The business has since developed an environmental, equality and diversity policy, reflecting her positive practices to the environment, customers and workforce.
