Entrepreneurs are Great

London is Britain’s business capital. Hundreds of entrepreneurs have set up their high-flying businesses here. Whether commercial, retail or tourism, Britain is the place to be. There are some amazing small businesses popping up all over Great Britain. This is Yarm High Street in the north-east of England where two sisters are really making their mark on the worldwide fashion scene and they’ve only just entered their 20s.Emily and Jess started making jewellery from their mum’s garage when they were just 15 years old. Today this British vintage-inspired brand is worn by celebrities, trend-setters, and sold around the world, and their profits are booming. This is their own studio where they make most of the jewellery. There’s no stopping these young entrepreneurs. And I want to know what the secret of their success is. How has the business started from nothing to all of this? Well, they started back in 2007, and it really started as more of a hobby, part-time, a way of making a bit of cash really, and it kind of grew exponentially from there. When they saw their jewellery in magazines they realize how well they`re doing and how many magazine features they are getting.

And they think Great Britain is a good place for entrepreneurs, there's a lot of help and advice available out there. They had a business advisor from Business Link, the government organization, and they were invaluable to us. And they think there's lots of websites and there's lots of information out there to help people in Great Britain with entrepreneurship. So if you were to set up your own business the only advice which they can give you is to work hard, make it work, and really, really enjoy it.
