Feedback from the Market
Sunday, February 26th, 2006Recently we sent out a request to all of our valuable subscribers asking them specifically what they might like us to address on the site. What a response! There were so many and we are so grateful for all the feedback. However it only highlights the need for sites like this to provide as much education as possible to everyone in business or with a business idea who plans to raise capital in order to grow or expand that business.
One recurrent theme is that there are alot of budding designers and clothing manufacturers out there looking to get a start. Good on you all. In Australia we have a great talent pool of established and recognised designers in this area.
But I have to say that it is in industry that we do not know a whole lot about at AccessToCapital. So along came Llew Wetham to the rescue. Llew is from a company called TCF and can be found at www.tcf.net.au. The Textile, Footwear, Clothing and Automobile Parts Industry provide a very specific area of expertise for Llew and his team. So I am happy to say that we have posted a couple of documents to the File Cabinet for those of you that are in that industry please feel free to download them.
In addition we have put a link on our site to the site at TCF so click straight through and again feel free to make contact with Llew and his team if you want to get some good advice on what paths are available for you in the Government Grant sector of this very specialised industry.
Coming up over the next few weeks and months we are going to be loading up more and more articles and documents that might be of value. However before I sign off today let me share a blog site with you called http://bplans.typepad.com/ This is a blog dedicated to all things business plan. I am a subscriber to the newsletter from www.bplans.com which is the site that sells Palo Alto Business Planning Software. There is alot of great information about business planning and some excellent books that are recommended.
In keeping with this demand we have posted a number of Business Planning Tools and Worksheets in the File Cabinet as this was again a very strong request from our subscribers.
Best Wishes
