Tarte de Fleurs Ltd
The Journey
Tarte de Fleurs is a Limited Company Based in Harlow with 1 employee. Tarte de Fleurs was established in 2010 by the Director, Elizabeth Manukyan. The business designs and manufactures beautiful and delicious bespoke cakes.
The business is run from home in order to keep costs down and to be more flexible. However, the director is ambitious and wanted to grow the business by establishing a boutique style coffee shop to show her creativity, cakes and providing good quality coffee and teas, but needed some help to get there.
Support provided
The director then contacted The BEST Growth Hub for free and impartial support. Kurt Scheepers, Business Growth Advisor for the North of Essex engaged with the business to understand and resolve the barriers the business faced. The business growth aspirations meant that it required a business loan and premises that would allow the business to expand and grow.
Business Support benefits
As a result of Kurt’s assistance with the business and the fully funded 12 hours of support, the business has now:
- Focus and confidence to move business forward
- Fully researched the market
- Completed a comprehensive Business Plan
- Applied for a loan
- Identified premises to move into
- Been supported with cash flow & other loan application requirements
“I had a lot of information that I didn’t know how to use, I didn’t know how to write my business plan and the scariest part for me was the cash flow forecast. Now thanks to your guidance and advice, I have a clear vision on what steps I should take and what to expect. Thank you again for being so patient and supportive!”
Director – Elizabeth Manukyan.
