Literally in some cases. Every concept sold through theideabridge will include a brief business & marketing plan with key suggested staged develpment, although I'm financially savvy (I've an accountant father to thank for that) I'm not a financial expert and in many of cases business 'virgins' may need finance to fund development and promotion so a thorough Business Plan maybe required. That's an opportunity for those in that area.

In terms of funding smaller projects, especially non for profit businesses may benefit from crowdfunding sites, pre-seed funding may be required or later funding during growth in return for an equity share for the more meatier projects - I see NatWest have a start up finance campaign running at the moment and with the impending changes to NI & minimum wages there maybe more taking the self employment route so it's clearly about to become a time of opportunity.

I'd also like to partner with an accountancy firm who can provide a competitive cost to help the new businesses set up and run their business as well as promote the ideabridge services to potential customers. If you're interested get in touch below.
