Tamara Mellon and Anya Hindmarch - G'ovt New Business - what & where?

[carocaro]

I have read and heard about these two being on some sort of advisory board about new business set ups etc.

But who are they advising and where? And what about these new business loans to kick start the country, where are these? Business Link have no idea, neither do DH's JSA office - which in itself is stupid.

All this puff and spin and no actual info - what's the f'ing point other than to make th G'ovt look like they are doing something but are not!

Not new business set-ups, they are supposed to be promoting the UK fashion insustry overseas: see here.

Are you thinking about the Enterprise Finance Guarantee?

Thanks, just checked and I don't qualify, I would like £1750 to buy some software to enable me to provide a better service to current customers, new business 4 months only, no profit as yet, but bank has said no.

Does the software company not allow you to pay up monthly?
or get a 0% credit card and pay for it that way??

If you haven't any profit yet, why would the bank loan to you?

Have you put a good case?
