As Good As Baby
Bridie Hunter had a business to sell quality baby and children’s clothes but needed the reassurance that in practice it would work. She approached Success Doncaster and a business advisor recommended she apply for a position on an InBusiness stall.
InBusiness gives new start businesses the chance to ‘test trade’ a market stall to see if their business is a viable venture. Traders get the chance to use a market stall free of charge for a set amount of time to help them get their business off the ground.
With her business, As Good As Baby, now up and running on Doncaster Wool Market, Bridie offered her customers baby clothes and accessories, always offering quality products at a reasonable price.
As she hoped, the business was a success and once the initial test trading period was over as part of InBusiness, Bridie took As Good As Baby on to a permanent stall.
Bridie’s business advisor continued to help her throughout this period offering her advice on business planning, taxation, setting up a website through which she could sell her products and marketing.
With her market stall doing so well and her business now online as a further avenue to sell her products, Bridie decided she would not stop there and looked at how else she could expand her business.
She decided to branch out and as well as selling clothing, offer customers prams, buggies and accessories. To do so she required stock and was successful in securing a Success Doncaster Loan Fund to enable her to purchase this.
As Good As Baby is now run from two stalls within the market and business is going extremely well for Bridie. She offers savings clubs for the unemployed and single parents and has built up a large customer base.
