    Respect, humility, and having time for the 'smaller person' always a good sign of greatness. Great soul, such a pleasure to listen to Touker Suleyman!

    He is correct. My teacher at Michigan university kept saying, no needs to create new stuff, just have a look at a successful product, check what is missing or not properly done and, do better. That way, you will be successful

    I am the same age as Touker and agree with every word he says. Too many today seem to think that a university degree entitles them to the proverbial "free lunch". Well, get this a degree is worthless unless you as a person have sorted out your purpose in life. As for those here who have jeered or made little of Touker, ask yourself just how successful are you?

      Depends entirely on how you measure 'success'......if your so shallow to measure it in monetary terms you are already unsuccessful ............

    I'm no Touker Suleyman, though I have been involved in many investments for over 40 years (& counting).
    Money makes money. If you need cash; NEVER go to a bank. Always seek an investor who has a vested interest in helping you. Banks (these days) seem more interested in robbing you.

    Tooky came in believing he was on the set of Conan. What a dull crowd! I guess it is a symptom of being a brilliant person, since I would argue that while they are great listeners and are engaged, do not always contribute much in social settings. I would kill to have been educated at the University in town (of which this Union is not a part).

    In preparation for inflation, improving quality, design, and value will not prevent your company from breaking down.
    At times of inflation, paying for an alternative is always the option. However, it is not always the case.
    As a strategist, I say that even with data protection and leveraging shares and reselling them after acquiring the initial capital, your business would still break down.
    Organisational and firm's future competitiveness has little to do with quality and design. Yes, they are essential as they are the core product, but not the value. Otherwise, if they are the core value, then a life cycle halt will also halt your company. But there are aspects unless addressed, nothing will work.
    Ominchannel strategy (what is omnichannel?), and downstream optimisation are the first areas to tacke.
    Then, it is logistics and distribution.
    Then, there is inventory and VMI strategy.
    If you do not manage to combine these in a solution specific to a particular company, it will crumble regardless of its size.
    I can expand greatly on this area and mathematically describe the solution. However, I trust that our colleagues at Oxford already know how to.
    However. It is a great opportunity to listen to you.

    When is the right time to approach an investor? Good question. But, oh boy.
    My dear, you have borrowed several times and at different rates, and without conducting the payback analysis and the EOQ model among othe obvious profitability forms, you are not in a good position.
    The reason is that you are not ensuring how much goes out over a period of time to creditors and your debtors are not balanced.
    The second most important aspect, is that your demograph is proven to be volatile, and this, I am assuming is the reason why you are borrowing.
    Your market is very risky and your growth plan is unplanned
