Looking for Investment/Investor

[Guthrie Consultants LTD]

Hi All,

I have a retail business that has been trading for 3 months now. I'm looking for investment and/or business partner.

The business sells street wear clothing, accessories, headphones and local art.

Kind Regards,

Mark.

Why? You having problems already, three months in?

I think youd have to be going atleast 12 months before you start asking for money

You don't mention what level of investment you require or why you require it?

Also, are you after cold hard cash and/or time/knowledge?

Regards

Thanks for your question.

I am looking for investment for marketing, promotion and a little more stock. I have very limited knowledge of marketing & promotions so bringing someone in who does would be the best thing for my business.

Hi,

Thanks for your questions.

I am looking for £15,000 for a little more stock, capital but mainly for marketing and promotions use. Along side that I am looking for time/knowledge/business mentor/partner as I think getting a more experienced entrepreneur on board would do wonders.

Regards, Mark.

Instead of looking for an investor who is going to take, if it were me a sizable percentage of your business, try to do things yourself by learning. I googled business eye, focus and mentoring in Worthing and loads came up.As there are no grants for retail there is always help in educating you in the principles of sales, marketing and promotion and generally all free.

Or invest some money in engaging a professional to guide you and your business forward. I found a few on Google again, however I wont provide links as I dont know their rep.

Thanks Bri for the advice. I'm checking it out now. I would really benefit from a mentor. I'm not adverse to giving a sizable percentage of the business to the right person if it's in the best interest of the business.

Regards, Mark.

Are you looking for an investor for the retail business or the headline company?

Your site is slightly confusing, with no mention of cost reduction services, just the retail stuff, but the retail site shows you do cost reduction.

What is the relationship between the company and the CIC?

Hi,

Thank you for your questions.

The sites are slightly confusing at the moment whilst i'm changing them around. The cost reduction website is being changed to the headline company website and the advert on the .co.uk website will eventually be removed. Cost reduction services have ceased for the moment.

The CIC company have been helping me with some signage for the retail shop. I have recently been displaying their urban artwork, along with others, for sale in the shop. They obtain, offer and complete projects for the community and are associated with the channel 4 big art mob organization. Last week they were searched more than the Tate Modern on the C4 website. They also produce individual pieces for sale of which I have very recently gained distribution rights to be able to sell. I'm building a portfolio on one of the best online art galleries at the moment as a sales portal to go with items for sale in the shop.

Regards, Mark.
