Brochurcom website design has secured its 12th month in business thanks to the Government’s New Enterprise Allowance scheme. Based in Stockport, Greater Manchester Paul Marshall was thrown the life line when referred to Blue Orchid’s business mentors by the Stockport Jobcentre Plus office.
With the help of Blue Orchid Paul prepared his business plan including cash flow projections and presented the idea to Gaynor Leigh who is a business mentor at Blue Orchid. After a few tweaks and nurturing the plan, Paul was accepted onto the scheme and launched his Stockport based, Brochurcom website design business in February 2014.
Although a New Enterprise Allowance start up loan could have been applied for, Paul was keen to not take up the offer instead, using his old laptop and focussing his marketing attention on the free social media platform Facebook.
“its been a hard 12 months but I have loved every minute of it. With the help of family providing meals and the New Enterprise Allowance weekly support payment of £53, I managed to keep my head above the water and now 12 months later it only seems like yesterday that I was sat in the offices of Blue Orchid talking through my ideas.
Although I know i’ve still got a long way to go in building my business, this year my goal is to move the business out of my lounge and into a new office. I’ve already found the ideal location at Enterprise House in Stockport situated market square.”
To celebrate the achievement Brochurcom has expanded its website design packages and now includes 4 options all targeted at new start up companies, Sole traders and those looking to move into the online area.
Built on the Google Apps for Work™ program, the entry level website design package costs just £399 and includes a company website, website graphics, lifestyle images, logo and matching header images for Facebook, Twitter and Google+ social media platforms.
A further three packages are also offered that include printed business cards, posters, letter heads, e-commerce and all options include monthly support services.
