START-UP LOANS
Elena, 24: Tangle Dress Design

I have a women´s fashion design business


and I make designer clothes for individual
customer. The dresses cost about €300. My
customers get a personal service and my
designs are a lot cheaper than other
designer dresses!
I have a degree in Digital Fashion Design
and I worked in Dubai for a fashion company
before I opened my shop in England. My job
in Dubai gave me useful experience. I
wanted to start my own business, but the
banks didn´t lend me any money. I spent six
months doing market research, and I used
my savings to open my shop one month
ago. I then borrowed €2,500 from Start-Up
Loans, and I am using it to pay the re4nt for
the shop and to pay for my website.
What advice can I give? Well, you have to do our market research because you
have to know what your customers want. Also, you to have a lot of energy. It´s not
easy to start your own business. In five years´ time, I want to have five shops, so I
have to work hard now!
