Today's Contract Clinic at Surrey Enterprise Hub, the SEEDA-sponsored organisation dedicated to supporting high-growth young businesses, was a refreshing blast of positivity.
During a Clinic, each company has a one-hour session during which they set out their commercial contract issues or opportunities and Devant works with them to find possible ways forward. It's a great opportunity for the companies to get some high-quality contractual advice and for us at Devant to meet some exciting young businesses. This Clinic showed that despite the market doldrums, entrepreneurial spirit is alive and kicking.
One of the impressive new companies to attend was i-Stylista. Their innovative online style guru service allows ordinary women to benefit from expert stylist advice, to find clothes that really suit them without hours of trawling the shops. In a market downturn, when every penny counts, a site that helps you to get best value from your clothing budget seems destined to succeed.
