HELP IS AT HAND

We all have a lightbulb momentand wonder what it would be like toset up a business, after a blueMonday at the office, years of beingout of the jobmarket to look afteryour family or even when maderedundant. The problem is not somuch coming up with a good ideabut where to go next; how to turnthat idea into a successful businessventure, and that’s where Hatchsteps in. Hatch is made up of fiveLiverpool based businesses:solicitors Emerald Law deal withcontracts, HR and legal issues,while Greenleaf UK will support anew start-up for a number ofmonths and RMC AccountancyServices advise on businessaccounts, tax and bookkeeping.Delve PR will show a new businesshow to best promote itself andMayfly Internet Marketing will giveprofessional advice on websites,search engines and social media.

Clare Delve, director of Delve PR,said: “I've come across so manytalented people and originalbusiness ideas in Liverpool. I thinkmore people are daring to thinkbigger and use their experience towork for themselves now in thiseconomic climate. Liverpool is avibrant, creative city, filled withpeople all willing to give it a go andthat's what I love. But people needmore direction and that's whereHatch comes in. It's a one-stopshop for new businesses to accessfive of the elements you need insetting up - legal, accountancy,business support, PR and internetmarketing free of charge.”

DON’T STARTFROM SCRATCHSometimes it’s not so much thegreat idea that takes hold butinstead the need to be your ownboss - with the added support froma well-established brand.Franchises are a great way ofentering the self-employed market,as it allows people to use anotherfirm’s successful business model.Buying a franchise can be a quick

way to set up your own businesswithout starting from scratch.Local business Go Direct Lettingsoffers a franchise model built onbricks and mortar. As a longestablished business, with over 25years experience in propertymanagement and residentiallettings, it offer franchisees anopportunity to buy into the brand.

Managing director Don Holmessaid: “Liverpool has been seeing arenaissance since before theCapital of Culture events of 2008.However, the announcement ofthis caused a swell of inwardinvestment and entrepreneurialgrowth within Merseyside,attracting many businessesincluding an influx of propertydevelopers. Yet, there still isn’tenough housing to accommodatethe indigenous population or theongoing immigration populationand evolving families.

“This is not an isolated NW issuebut UK wide and it is predictedthat we will be one million homesshort by 2015. The only way to fillthis vacuum is by the privaterental sector. This is an emergingarea of business to be in and that’swhere we come in - our companyGo Direct Lettings Franchise Ltdis offering franchisingopportunities in the rental andproperty management industry. Asshown above, this is a growing,inflation-proof business - everyoneneeds some where to live.

“So, if you are considering openingor diversifying in business inLiverpool, or indeed facingredundancy, why not give us a call?We have areas available and welook forward to helping youestablish and grow your business.”

WORKINGFROM HOMEWhile your business is still growingit makes sense to work from home.Home-based businesses are apopular option for many types of

smaller business. Generally the costswill be lower, you can avoid travelexpenses and you have the freedomand flexibility to work the hours youchoose in an environment that youcreate yourself.

When working from home you willneed to tell your mortgage providerand household insurance companythat you are running your businessfrom home. However, as long as themain purpose of the propertyremains predominately residentialyou will not usually need planningpermission. If the room you runyour business from is only used forbusiness however, then you willhave to pay business rates on it.

Architect Dave Scanlon started hisown business in 2000, havingpreviously worked from home(although popping to hisemployer’s central Manchesteroffice from time to time).

“The transition to working formy self initially was quitedaunting, with having to arrangefor registration with the inlandrevenue for tax and VAT, but withthe help of a good accountant thisworked out to be quite harmless,”he says. “The next step wasarranging for professionalindemnity insurance, which I dealtwith through my bank and apartfrom the level of form filling againwas relatively straight forward.”

He says the worst part of workingfrom home is the inability to cutwork off in the evening andweekends.

“To get over this I adopted a nineto five mentality and arranged forseparate telephone lines - one forthe business and one for thehome,” he says. “This meant thatout of hours the answer machinewould collect the calls.

LEARN FROMEXPERIENCETalking to people who alreadyhave established businesses is a

great research tool to find out theproblems encountered by beingyour own boss, from mentoring togood contacts they can make theroad to business success easierthan you think. The propertyindustry is full of opportunitiesfor small to medium businessventures. From estate agents tocleaning businesses the industry isfull of opportunities in a citygrowing all the time andworking hard to beat theeconomic downturn.

Charles Vasco, director ofFinishing Touch Flooring, said:“Contacts and building them upwas probably the biggestchallenge I faced when firststarting a business. I just had towork really hard to get a goodclient base, which was all basedon recommendations. I amfortunate that at the level I am Ihaven’t been so much affected bythe recession, although it has beenslower for the past couple of years.

“Liverpool is a fantastic placeto set up a business, it’s a vibrantcity there’s lots of thingshappening and the market doesn’tstand still there’s still a lot ofdevelopment going on. I didn’treceive much help at thebeginning when I first set up thebusiness but I am still very handson, and would still recommendsomeone to set up a business.”

Hugh Mcgowan has been living in the old GateacreCommunity School building since September as partof Ad Hoc’s guardian scheme, which offers cheaprents for short-term living accommodation.

I’m studying for a degreeand was looking forsomewhere cheap to live. Isaw an advert online that read‘Do you fancy living in aschool for £40 a week?’ - That’sthe type of rent that I paid 15years ago!

The idea of living in a schoolreally appealed to me, notjust because of the cost butthe fact you get to livesomewhere different. Plus Iget so much space and there’s agym I can play basketball in.

By doing this I get to live inGateacre and there’s no wayI could afford to do thatotherwise. I pay £35 a weekbecause I’m head guardian andI have a responsibility to keepmy eye on the place.

My flat is the old staffroom – the teacher’s pigeonholes arestill up. When I moved in it seemed a bit too big but once Ibrought some of my things in it became really cosy. I really like thecolourful throw on my couch. A friend of mine made it forme. It’s really bright and cheerful.

The only negative is thenearest toilet in the buildingis 100m walk away. Thewater is only connected thereand that can be a particularlycold walk when you get ashower in the morning.

My toy rabbit is quite specialto me. My dad bought him formy mum when she found outshe was pregnant with me so itmeans a lot to me. The fairylights were my sisters but I’vehad them for a while and theybrighten the place up.

The cricket stumps were left in thePE department and they were goingto be thrown away so I kept them.The large protractor and the measuringstick were left in classrooms. I also haveone of the old blackboards and my coffee table was actually atable from the canteen but I cut the legs down.

On my first day it was a bitlike being in a zombie film.Everything was left as it was, allof the furniture was here, all ofthe displays were on the walland registers and schoolbookswere on the desks. It was a bitpost apocalyptic.

When I told my mum I wasliving in an abandonedschool her first question was“are you squatting?” Beforeuniversity I used to work inforestry and I was away all thetime sleeping in portacabinsand caravans so I’m used toliving somewhere unusual.

Although most widely known as troubled Ronnie Mitchell inEastEnders, it is in theatre that Sam Womack is making waves withher performance as Nellie in South Pacific, coming to Liverpool this

month. With a lot of sun, sand and singing the world of musicalscouldn’t be further from her Eastenders’ baby swap storyline, as she

tells us just how different her life is post-Ronnie Mitchell.

How did you get involved in SouthPacific? I love Rodgers & Hammerstein andSouth Pacific is one of their finest musicals.When I heard about this incredibleproduction in New York that was winningjust about every award going, well, I reallywanted to be a part of it. Tell us about your character Nellie. Nellieis wonderfully naïve and she has this hugelearning curve, with redemption at the end,so it’s a real

rollercoaster part and one of the greatfemale roles. Marrying your voice with anorchestra is wonderful. Even when I havebeen tired, or suffering with a cold, singingis euphoric. You hear the orchestra start andit’s the most incredible feeling; you justforget everything else.Are you excited to be performing inLiverpool? I am especially excited abouttaking the show to Liverpool. All my in-lawsare in Liverpool and I’ve been an adoptedScouser since I did Liverpool 1.Liverpudlians are just so responsive. If theyenjoy something, they are on their feet. What’s it like to swap the explosivestorylines of Eastenders for the theatre?When I was doing EastEnders I was oftenaway at five-thirty in the morning and notgetting back home until eight or nine atnight, by which time my children were inbed. With South Pacific I can commute tomany of the theatres, so I get to share thechildren’s day, which is lovely. Some peopleare bringing their children andgrandchildren on the proviso that they areseeing Ronnie from EastEnders, but thenthey just fall in love with the show andforget that it isn’t Albert Square. Theatre isa wonderful home for children. Theatrepeople are a warm bunch and I’ve always

found it a very healthy and happy place forchildren. My daughter Lily’s firstintroduction to theatre was a 26 pieceorchestra rehearsing at the Barbican. I sawthe same look of rapture on her face that Iremember having on mine the first time Iheard an orchestra playing Gershwin; itmoved her in the same way as it moved me.Do you plan to stay in theatre for a whileyet? I love the show and the company somuch that it is a very hard job to leave. I wascontemplating a couple of television roles, butI was so happy in South Pacific that I decidedto stay on. There seems to be a new wave ofyoung independent filmmakers and I havebeen reading some great scripts recently. Thecharacters are not as stereotypical as maybethey are in larger budget films, and some ofthese scripts are really exciting. I’d love to dosome Shakespeare, all the angst and crying Idid in EastEnders has served me well.Are there any plans for you to reprise therole of Ronnie in Eastenders? I had awonderful time there and I’d never rule outgoing back, but Ronnie was a very damagedcharacter and I think she’s probably best leftalone for a while.

� South Pacific, The Liverpool Empire,21 - 27 February.

I love the Little Moo chair fromJohn Lewis. It’s a comfortable littleaccent chair that would lookfabulous against the backdrop ofyour leather sofas.

Ask the expert

WESTERNINSPIRATION We are thinking about converting

our basement into a cinema/entertainment room for the wholefamily as we need more space butdon’t want to move. We’reworried about the expense of theconversion and how to go aboutit. Do you think it will add valueto our property? And what wouldyou consider to be the main areasto begin the conversion with?

Extending into the basement can create a dynamic and exciting space but it is one of themost expensive ways of extending the living space in your home. I would alwaysrecommend having the expertise of an experienced architect and builder as this kind ofconversion is a specialist job. You can expect to pay around £3,000 per square metre for anaverage conversion, so it is worth working out before you begin the project if the value ofyour property is higher than the cost of the work.

I’ve never been happy with the bedroom in my city centre apartment. It is on a mezzanine floor,which you can see from the living area but because the furniture in it in lacks any designelement, the space looks rather unfinished. I am having a storage system designed and built inthe room which should help to clear any clutter but I now need to find a bed that is a real showstopper. I’d like something glamorous with a sculpted headboard that can be seen from the lowerfloor. Can you help?

I think you will love this bed byPaola Navone, an Italian designerwho was named “Designer of theYear” in 2000 by the prestigiousGerman magazine Architektur &Wohnen. The Lelit bed frame,manufactured by Poltrana Frau,features an impressive headboardwith two independent flexiblewings that can be freely shapedand folded gently into differentpositions.

It is available from Aram inseveral different colours andfinishes.

Nails and hands are just one of the ways us girls keep our lovely selves fab!

They are also a reflection of our personality andmood. Master nail technician Victoria believesfollowing fashion and trends they can put the finishingtouch to the simplest of outfits. Gone are the days ofwaiting for polish to dry and a very big welcome tothe latest technology in gel polishes aka "shellac".

Victoria is also an advocate of nail extensions,believing if its length and strength you haven't beenblessed with these are your answer, Victoria herselfhas been wearing extensions for 16yrs! But she addscorrect and responsible application and education forclients is must! Don't stop there, the most beautifulnails will be overshadowed by dry skin and unkemptcuticles - just call her the nail doctor ; )

TOP TIPS...• Invest in a cutical oil and keep it next to your bed. • Hand lotion and more hand lotion! keep in your

handbag or car. • Maintenance is essential, chipped shellac or

missing nails can be worse than none! Book your appointments in advance and keep to them!

n the flourishing suburbsof Crosby and Waterloo,award-winning estate andletting agent Abode hastaken the area by storm,

offering innovative ways to selland let property. The model ofoffering cutting edge technologywhilst maintaining a dedicationto its customers has led the 10-month old business to announcesome very big news.

Meeting with branch managerTim Kay at another flourishingbusiness, the wonderful TulayTurkish Restaurant based on thecosmopolitan South Road area ofWaterloo, we discuss Abode’s bignew venture over a delightfullunch of traditional Turkish food.

“We are opening a newbranch on Allerton Road in thenext few months,” he says. “Weare all excited, we can’t wait it’sgoing to be good to mix in withsome big players there. AllertonRoad has a lot more sales ontheir books with a vaster area tocover so there’s a lot more scopethere and we are going to be big.We have grown really quick, wehave a big market share in thisarea, we have more propertythan any other agent and that’safter only 10 months.”

Recommended by the owner,the friendly Kadir who assuredme he spent several hours eachday slaving over this dish, I trythe Adana, a renowned dish fromSouthern Turkey made fromchopped prime lamb, withpeppers, flat leaf parsley andflaked chilli. A wonderfulcombination of flavourscomplimented by the yoghurt andcucumber sauce. Tim went for theTulay Mix Grill Plate, a greatintroduction to therestaurant with the disha platter of Adana,lamb, chicken andlamb chop servedwith rice and salad -“This is delicious;great since I’m a bigeater and I love Turkishfood, it’s so good to knowthis is right by my work.”

Tim Kay became branchmanager at Abode only fivemonths ago, but within thattime he has taken sales andlettings to a new level bybringing in new structures inorder to provide an even better

service to existing and newclients. Being a former businessowner, he owned a Whitegatesfranchise on the Wirral, andhaving a competitive cyclingbackground training all over theworld for tournaments, has ledto his run of successes at Abode.

“I’ve done a lot of differentthings at Abode, such as

with Facebook,social networking

and differenttypes ofmarketing,” hesaid. “We haveaward winning

software for ourlettings, which is

the department Ihave really been

expanding. This makes it moreefficient for our landlords so theyget more business and we can bemore efficient. The demand forrentals in Crosby is huge becausepeople who grow up in Crosby

want to stay in Crosby. However,property is expensive in Crosbyand first time buyers who want tostay can’t get the mortgages sothey want to rent, and there’s notenough rental properties.”

Abode has seen enormoussuccess since first opening itsdoors, and with four financialadvisors heading up the companyit pays to go with Abode.

“All our directors are financialadvisors, they own 100 propertiesbetween them,” he said. “Sothey’re landlords, I’m a landlord,we know what people want andthat’s why we’ve been successful.We give people what they want,so we can be speaking to themevery week or every monthgiving the Rightmove stats,updating them on the marketand what we’re doing.

“We had a Champagne andCanape night recently and willcontinue to run them forinvestors and landlords; we’re

opening ourselves up tellingpeople come look at our officewe’re proud of it, come look atour staff we’re allknowledgeable. We do a lot withthe community as well likesponsoring football teams, wesupport local businesses.”

With the new branch onAllerton Road soon to manage aswell as the Crosby branch, Timknows that the future looksbright for this young estate agent.

“We want to be known forwhat we do. We’re honestpeople, we will sell yourproperty and we work very hard.We’re selling more property thanany other agent in Crosby after10 months and we won the YourMove Property Awards 2011 for‘best newcomer’ - now, that’s allgot to say something.”
