What has been your biggest business success?: “Taking £600 and turning it into a successful and profitable business without any help or investment.”
Describe your business plan: “To evolve my already successful business to the next level. To create an online platform where anyone can upload their designs onto gifts and earn passive income. Creating a community of creators and consumers. To empower people who struggle with or can’t work a 9 to 5 to earn an income on their own terms.”
Why should Lord Sugar invest in you?: “I’ve already created something successful and now I’m ready for the next stage. I’m a problem solver who never lets anything or anyone stop me for long.”
