Starting A Fashion Business. 

It is the easiest thing in the world to start a fashion business in the UK, even with no experience and limited finances. But it is almost impossible for a beginner to succeed without expert  professional help and advice.

So, how much does a fashion business mentor cost ? Are they worth it ? Just who is a fashion business mentor anyway ? And what do they do ?

It can be a positive advantage to start a fashion business with limited funds. You dont waste a single penny of your budget, because this is all your own money that you are investing in your own business. OK, you may have got a small loan from the bank, friends or family, but you really care how that money is spent.

The failure rate for new UK fashion businesses is notoriously high, due both to the lack of knowledge of the average fashion entrepreneur, and to the poor standards within the fashion industry itself.

London based fashion businesses tend to have a higher success rate due to the fact that London is a world centre for fashion and has a wide variety of fashion industry expertise.
