Product or Service:
(Describe the product or service you will be selling in detail. For example, if you are offering a service like plumbing you should describe everything you will be offering your customers like 24 call out or boiler servicing or if you are planning on opening a retail shop you should describe everything you intend to sell in the shop. Also write about why your customers will buy from you and not your competitors – write 1-2 paragraphs
(Describe where you intend to sell the product or service; such as the geographical area you will cover, whether it’s an online shop or a physical premises. Are you going to be selling business to customer (B2C) or business to business (B2B). Also explain how you will sell it, will it be cash on receipt, will you offer 30 days terms or use an online payment system)

I will be selling all kinds of handmade art including handmade lovespoons, ceramic pots, pipes, ashtrays, jewelry, metal and wood sculptures, garden sculptures, hand made paintings and all kind of art. I will be using Nexgen casting company or any other casting companies for my metal castings. each product I produce will be unique and handmade. the reason people should buy my lovespoons is because mine rally are handmade and unique where as virtually every other lovespoon company print them off hundreds or thousands at a time with machines and lie about them being handmade. I will be pricing every item individually based on their uniqueness and location of selling for example I will most probably raise prices if I sell to London compared to wales or that kind of thing. I hope to expand to art galleries all over uk, and will be selling world wide via the internet and starting an online shop. I will also be targeting jewelry stores with my metal castings, jewelry, rings, ear rings and all kinds of jewelry.

Potential customers – (Have you already made any sales to date? Do you have support from the local community or people waiting to buy your product?)
I have people waiting to buy products, if I had tools I could make them way quicker and cheaper to sell to target more people. I have supplied galleries and my art have been sold to a few different countries around the world.
