The Business Start-Up

<p>You&rsquo;ve worked hard to get your interior design qualifications and you have spent years working even harder in other people&rsquo;s design studios honing your knowledge and skills. Finally, you feel ready to break free, spread your entrepreneurial wings and run your own interior design company.&nbsp;&nbsp;</p> <p>But how do you know when the time is right to take the first step? And do you go it alone or join forces with a partner? Should you rush out and rent office space? And, most importantly, how will you let prospective clients know you are open for business and ready to take on their projects?</p> <p>New kids on the block, Courtney Giles and Marianne Roe, explain how and why they set up Studio Smiths and what's making their partnership such a success.&nbsp;</p> <p>This episode is a Wildwood production.&nbsp;&nbsp;<span lang="EN-US" style="font-size: 13.0pt; line-height: 150%;">&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp;</span></p>
