    Dragon's Den patents.

    When you file the application you can then disclose in public, it's just Patent Pending. The countries who are a part of patent conventions like the US allow you to use the filing date in the UK for a US application, as long as it's done within a year of the original application in the UK.

    Dragon's Den patents.

    From what I understand, if it's filed say here in the UK then they have a year from that filing date to file in other countries like the US. Not sure if it applys to all countries though.

    New ideas?

    For the shop as well as delivery to your existing commercial customers I would suggest simply extending your line to include cup cakes. No other baking of various other types of cake, but simply focus on cup cakes with their high margin and simple manufacturing process at your premises. Cup...

    A new approach required

    What type of business did you set up for your daughter? What about using your experience of setting your daughter up in business and doing the same for people in different areas who have the skills that your daughter has and therefore replicate it and scale a business this way?
