It's time for episode eight in series eight of the Small Business Sessions, Enterprise Nation's podcast powered by the business.connected online training programme and our partners Vodafone Business, Constant Contact, JP Morgan and Dropbox.
Joining freelance journalist Dan Martin for the eighth and final episode in the current series is Olly Tyler, owner of greetings card business Shroot.
Shroot creates eco-friendly, biodegradable cards that come with everything you need to grow microgreens, including the pot. It's a gift, card, experience and snack all in one.
Olly didn't start the business, but bought it as a failing venture. He's since turned it into a great success, and has also purchased two other businesses, Kabloom and Bottle Farm.
In this inspiring episode, Olly and Dan discuss:
why Olly bought Shroot and his advice to others for buying a business
how he turned a failing business into a success
what advice Olly would give entrepreneurs who are struggling with their businesses
Funding strategies for growing a business
how being an Enterprise Nation member has benefitted Olly
