10VENTURESVENTURES11WHEREWOMANcreatebusinessWalking around the Craven Park Training & Enterprise Centre, a buzz fills the air with the collective mix of businesses that havetaken up occupancy. The one thing you can’t help but notice is the high proportion of businesses that are woman led - fromcare provision, law practice all the way through to technology.There are almost one million small and medium sized businesses led by women in the UK. According to the Governments“Business is Great Campaign”, the UK would have an additional one million entrepreneurs if women set up businesses at thesame rate as men. What’s their secret to effectively being a successful business? We asked two businesswomen from thecentre for their thoughts on self-employment and running a successful business.SPECIALEDITIONWOMEN IN BUSINESSSarah Ryder - Yorkshire Care TrainingAn established training provider with over 25 years’ experience within the the Healthand Social Care Sector. Dedicated and driven to provide health and social care training toenhance individual’s knowledge and understanding of health and social care in the Hulland East Riding of Yorkshire area.Lynn Yates - Cleverclogs MultimediaMultimedia creators... meaning they do anything creative with computers including designfor print, video, photography and illustration. But they specialise in web and softwaredevelopment including bespoke Customer Relationship Management (CRM) software.What ignited the spark in you to start your own businessventure?LynnI was a software developer for several years and having noreal contact with clients was frustrating, so when redundancycame I grabbed it with both hands. (I think I actually didcartwheels down the office!)SarahI was made redundant in 2012 from a company that closeddue to losing their contracts for many bad practices. Duringmy time there i wanted to implement many changes butwas met with strong resistance. I decided to start my owncompany doing the same thing so that it could be done theway i wanted.How did you ensure your business differentiates with theproducts or services it provides from other competitors inthe market?LynnI ran a feasibility study to determine if there was in fact a nichein the market for the first product we wanted to develop.Athena MIS is specifically designed for subcontracted trainingproviders so by going directly to the source and working witha local training provider, we created a fit for purpose productwhich solves a multitude of problems and provides scores ofbenefits which lead to an increased profit margin. Our newlydeveloped CRM followed on from this and is aimed at allSME’s.SarahWe specialise predominantly in Health & Social Care from alevel 1 qualification to university applications if applicable.We cover a range of qualifications from Apprenticeships toNCFE qualifications in contextualised subjects. All of our staffhave many years experience in this field and we have highsucess rates.While the battle of sexes has dropped quite a bitin recent years, do you think that women have it any easierwhen trying to start up their own business?LynnI don’t think gender has a great deal to do with it to be honest,businesses survive or fail depending on the tenacity andwillpower of the owner(s). It’s all about strength of characterand the determination to succeed. It does help to have asense of humour and the drive to make a difference though.SarahI don’t believe they have it any easier, but i do believe thatmore women are empowered to start their own business andstrive to be sucessful. I think women now truly believe thatthey can do it all, be a mother, wife and a business woman.(and quite rightly so)How do you motivate yourself and stay motivated?LynnThat’s easy, the thought of going back to work for someoneelse keeps me seriously motivated!SarahAs a single parent i always want to ensure that my childrenhave the best in life as any parent does. My motivation comesfrom that and also so that i can set a strong example to mychildren that embeds strong working values. What keeps memotivated is the new business ventures that i identify thatlink into my business to strengthen what we do as a company.What advice would you give to others thinking of becomingtheir own boss and starting a business?LynnIf you wholeheartedly believe in your business plan, Just doit! Life’s too short for procrastination and what if’s. Do preparefor failure in some shape or form though, it’s the ability todust yourself off and start again that’s a true strength.SarahI would strongly say do it! Try to start your business as lowcost as possible, have a business plan, change it, and keepchanging it until its right for your business. Believe in whatyou do and be confident about it...if you are confident in yourbusiness then others will be too.Yorkshire Care TrainingTelephone: 01482 219900Email: info@yorkshirecaretraining.comwww. yorkshirecaretraining.comCleverclogs MultimediaTelephone: 01482 379540Email: info@cleverclogsmultimedia.comwww. cleverclogsmultimedia.comBusiness Ventures | 2015 Business Ventures | 2015

14VENTURESVENTURES15Your questions answeredBusiness SurgeryCaVCA Ventures Business Manager Allan Rookyard is here with all your business needs.Have you got a burning question that needs answering? Well look no further! CaVCA VenturesBusiness Manager Allan Rookyard is here with the answers for your business needs.In this issue, the questions come from Paris Fenton whois currently studying a foundation degree in Business andManagement at Hull College.Having just completed her first year Paris has gained knowledgeof various elements of business including finance, marketingand managing people. “I’m enjoying learning more aboutthe business world not only through my studies but actuallyexperiencing working in a professional environment whilstattending my work placement with CaVCA. Over the nexttwo years I aim to have completed my course and be able tosecure a position in either marketing or events management”explained Paris.This course aims to provide students with an education andlearning experience, which will deliver work-based practicesand develop new skills and competencies. Enabling studentsto operate, on graduation, as professionals with a high degreeof autonomy.The course has twelve modules of study:Managing Learning at Work, Economics, Organisationand Environment, Introduction to Marketing, FinancialManagement, Organisational Behaviour, Work-basedManagement 1 and 2, Business Law, Operations Management,Managerial Decision Making, Human Resource Management,Research Methods.Q What advice would you give to someone wanting to starttheir own business?A nice easy question to start with…this will be covered inmore depth in our next article, but for now...I suppose the answer to this question lies within the individual.To me, this decision shouldn’t just be based on emotion or asa last resort. It should be something that you as the individualhave thought long and hard about.You need to ask yourself a lot of questions and the first usuallystarts with… Are you willing and ready to take the risk? Peopleare hesitant to pursue an idea because they are afraid it wontbe a success or they’re afraid to fail. But the only surefire way tofind out is by trying. Don’t over think things.If you have a greatbusiness idea that you’re passionate about - go for it! You’vegot to be confident within yourself because that is where itall starts. One of the hardest things starting up in business isconvincing your friends and family members that the worldyou’re about to step into is a good idea. Even though they mayhave your best interest in mind, you can’t let the opinions ofothers stand in the way of your dreams and aspirations. Finally,be honest with those aspirations. Some people only go after bigopportunities, and that’s respectable and admirable. That hasa 50/50 chance of major success or a potential failing. You’vegot to know were your realistic ambitions lie – be honest withyourself about what you can accomplish and the chances areyou will succeed.Starting your own business can be extremely rewarding, but itcan also be extremely challenging, so never forget that.Q What needs to be included in a business plan?I think what needs to be included in a business plan is relativeto the business and its objectives. Most people use businessplans to obtain funding or use the business plan to structuretheir business – almost as a tick sheet for progression.I’d say if you were writing a business plan, the essentials wouldinclude things such as;• Business concept – genesis of the business, theindustry you intend the business to be, the structural future ofthe business, your product or service and how these plans willshape the business and make it a success.• Strategy – identifying specific actions you need to takeand how you’re going to implement them. What goals andvision do you have for the business – when and how will youreach them?• Business products or services – What is yourcompetitive advantage? What is it that you’re providing? Whywill customers purchase your business over your competitors?This really is where your passion for the business can spill out.It’s a great chance to get your enthusiasm across and why thebusiness will succeed.• Markets and competition – Lay out your marketingplan! Are there any markets that you’ll pursue? Who will yourcustomers be? What is your demographic audience? How willyou attract and retain enough customers to make a profit? Whatmethods will you use to capture your audience? What sets yourbusiness apart from the competition?• Management and structure of the business – howmany employees will you be taking on? If not immediately,what about down the line and into the future? What will betheir roles within the company? Who will draw up contractualagreements?• Financial needs – What are your financial projections?You will need to provide statements. These statements providea model of how your ideas about the company, its marketsand its strategies will play out. Stick to facts instead of feelings,projections instead of hopes, and realistic expectations of profitinstead of unrealistic dreams of wealth. All facts should becheckable so that you can demonstrate the provided facts, thusensuring your credibility.Q Do you have any advice with regards to the marketing of anew business?A Learn as much as you can about the needs of your customers.Will your customers be looking for convenience, pricing, qualityand/or service? It will be difficult to make sound marketing andpromotional decisions without being informed on their realwants and needs.Got a burning question you want answering? (quote Ventures Magazine)Email: allan.rookyard@cavca.org.ukIt’s not enough to have a great idea for a business, you alsohave to make sure the world hears about it. Monitoring webconversations, interacting with customers and honing yourtechnical know-how can help your business get ahead. Toolslike social media, online marketing, and even mail are greatcost effective ways to get your business the much neededexposure. Making use of things like Facebook, Twitter orYoutube is helpful and free, but depends on what your productis. These should be used only if your business requires themand if you will use them on a daily basis.If you’re at the stage of having a logo and brand you’d like topush you can use things like letterheads and compliment slipsto make the company look really professional from the outset.A good marketing plan is a great investment into making yourbusiness as successful as it can be. Your marketing plan willoutline the things you need to do in order to market yourproduct to potential customers.Q How do you know when it’s the right time to expand yourbusiness?Good question! The main worry for most businesses is “will Isucceed”. So it’s frightening and exciting to be in the positionwhere you’re in a position to grow.I think there are certain signs to say that you as a business areready to expand. But before you do expand there are severalthings that are vital. One being that there’s a loyal customerbase. Regular customers who have used you and you haveprovided an excellent service that has allowed you to get intothis position. Another is your business finances – have theybeen profitable? Do you have a steady cash flow and will thatcontinue to be so?Other signs could be if your industry or market is growing? Ifthis is the case, chances are your business will be growing withit. If customers are asking you to grow, to expand into near byareas. A great barometer for expansion is to look at your currentpremises and where you’re working. If you’re running out ofspace or need to take on more members of staff because you’rebecoming too preoccupied (having more business than you canhandle) and finding there aren’t enough hours in the day tomeet customers needs, then you may certainly be at that point.Business Ventures | 2015 Business Ventures | 2015
