The Export Support Service is a free government helpline and online service run by the Department for International Trade (DIT). It is the first point of contact for all UK businesses to get answers to questions about exporting their products or services to customers in Europe. No matter the size of your business, how much you export or where in the UK you’re based, you can use the service to get answers to your questions. 

Paul McComb, Director of UK Exports at the Department for International Trade, explains how the Export Support Service can support you to trade with Europe and beyond. 

He also shares how the Service plans to expand to cover more global markets this year, and what this means for your business.

Hi Incredible Eentrepreneurs! I am Olga the founder of a holistic skincare brand Nat-Zen.com business consultant at Soul-Led Ecommerce https://www.souledcommerce.com/ of &amp; mom of 2 boys, 4 and 2 years old.
My mission is to help e-commerce mums to increase their sales fast &amp; gain time freedom with proven systems and expertise so they can enjoy life being present.
NatZen brand journey began in 2018 when I started researching the impact plastic has on our planet. I learned about formulating plastic-free soaps, shampoos, and conditioners for myself, my family &amp; friends. The resulting feedback was so positive, it speared me into action to study herbalism and skincare formulation. This in turn led me to pursue my passion for botanical skincare. On becoming a first-time Mum with no spare time for myself, I completely abandoned my skin and well-being. The stress had taken its toll on my well-being and the way my skin looked. It led me to create a skincare line that helps rejuvenate, restore &amp; heal stressed problematic, and dull skin. NatZen inspired me to motivate more women in similar positions to take better care of themselves by embracing wellness rituals, balance &amp; a positive mindset in their daily lives. NatZen also fueled my soul-driven mission to help mums in business because I know how stressful and overwhelming it can feel. All NatZen products are formulated with a holistic approach in mind for skin care and hair care. This method involves treating the whole body using only natural and organic products to heal and nourish skin &amp; hair. NatZen in full is ‘Naturally Zen’ and as the name implies; the end goal is to create products that bring a sense of serenity, enjoyment, and relaxation. I am passionate about producing holistic skincare products that are gentle on the skin and our environment simultaneously. In 2018 I had no eCommerce industry experience or business background. I worked hard to grow this business from the ground up all by myself. It all started with the Etsy Store, Local Markets, and friends&apos; recommendations and progressed to a luxury Natural Skincare Brand that is an example to others.  As a self-taught entrepreneur, I wear many hats and have learned so much since beginning this journey. All in all, I&apos;m just a Mother who had a dream and decided to go for it! I made a plan, put my plan into action, and little by little how NatZen started and evolved. I believe that entrepreneur mums are true superheroes, they are passionate, multi-talented, and have a burning desire to have a soul-driven purpose. I created a transformational Mums in Ecomm program as a soul-driven mission to help mums with e-commerce businesses to implement systems, mindset, and strategies that will help them to double and triple their sales and finally move from side hustle to their dream soul-led business. I was inspired to build this particular program to support and coach women to achieve their maximum potential in their entrepreneurial journey. &quot;We have all been there...it&apos;s a feeling of mother&apos;s guilt and anxiety mixed with sadness when it&apos;s again 6:30 pm and I am running late to collect my children in the creche, I have been in meetings all day, skipped my lunch and had another meeting that ran overtime. All I want is to spend more quality time with my kids because they grow so fast, but I am unable to do that because I have to work for someone 40+ hours a week. This is why I am here... My deep soul-driven purpose is to make you stop feeling this guilt and spend quality time with your children while you still have the time to build your dream business.&quot; My mission is to help driven mums that have started their e-commerce business implement proven strategies that bring sales, get out of their comfort zone, find their unique strengths, change limiting beliefs, and develop the plan so they can work less, double their income &amp; enjoy family life more.

Business Owners Network

Engage with like-minded business owners across the UK, make new connections, ask and answer questions, share ideas. skills, experiences, and opinions.

I currently own and operate two different successful businesses, both online.
The no.1 thing I learnt in building these businesses and working in big corporates is: there is a LOT to learn. And you constantly have to change and evolve to be successful with your marketing.
From setting up your website, to acquiring your first customer, to developing consistent branding, to running ads … the list goes on and on. This is why it helps to have an expert in your corner who does all the new learning for you so you can just use them as your go to and source of all knowledge.
I’m so excited to share all I know in digital and social media marketing, just to save you a whole lot of time! It’s my hope that by sharing all my digital marketing skills, you’ll have more time to do the other things in your business you love but also more time to actually enjoy your life and to stop feeling frustrated with your lack of results in your business.
