British Industry On The Rise: Flower Start-Ups Are Blooming 🌻 🇬🇧
Launching or running a business in the British flower industry? It's about
to see a renaissance according to this blog
<https://virginstartup.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6e873aab9f76e7f4db2e0500c&id=bf924a7845&e=d4e40c46c7>

<https://virginstartup.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6e873aab9f76e7f4db2e0500c&id=8daea17134&e=d4e40c46c7>
.
Today over 90% of stems sold in the UK come from Dutch flower markets. Over
40 years ago British blooms were sold all over the UK, but as oil prices
rocketed in the 1970s, UK farmers couldn't afford to heat their greenhouses
and most had to close. There were 120 chrysanthemum farmers in 1970, by
2013 there were only three.
But, the tide is starting to turn and the number of British flowers being
sold at New Covent Garden Market has crept up from 10% to 12% in the last
year. British flowers will also be the toast of the prestigious Chelsea
Flower Show this year with Flowers from the Farm, a network of small British
flower farmers, exhibiting for the first time.
It’ll be Chelsea’s last show before Brexit; after which the cost of
importing cut flowers is expected to increase by up to 1.3% (adding an extra
£2bn a year in total). While most small businesses bemoan Brexit, flower
farms across the UK may, in fact, benefit from a break with the EU.
Pretty unusually for floristry businesses, they've been catching the eye of
venture capitalists too. A number of flowers-by-post startups have raised
hefty amounts. In February 2017, Bloomon raised £16m. Two months later,
Flowerbx received a £1.5m funding injection. Meanwhile, Bloom and Wild has
raised over £7m in funding.
These brands all promise a way to tap into a potentially lucrative market:
demand for cut flowers is on the up. In 1998, Brits bought around
£112m-worth of imported flowers. By 2014, that figure had increased
six-fold, to £691m. If these small businesses can live up to their promises
of better value and quality compared to incumbents like flower delivery firm
Interflora, a significant chunk of that could be theirs for the taking.

From Dragons' Den Rejection To Multi-Million Pound Business 🐉 🔥
In 2015 Frazer Fearnhead
<https://virginstartup.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6e873aab9f76e7f4db2e0500c&id=f9cc957ffc&e=d4e40c46c7>
received zero investment from the Dragons after pitching his UK property
crowdfunding company, House Crowd, on Dragons' Den. You'd think a rejection
like that, on live television, might deliver a blow from which a startup
would find it hard to recover. Well, fast forward to today and that same
startup idea has raised millions of pounds in funding and is going from
strength to strength.
In this blog
<https://virginstartup.us12.list-manage.com/track/click?u=6e873aab9f76e7f4db2e0500c&id=010c139632&e=d4e40c46c7>
, Frazer gives his tips for raising investment, the importance of a business
plan and how to draw one up, plus how to protect your business from copycats
when it's the first to market.
Oh, and why did the Dragons' reject his business? "I was approached to be on
Dragons’ Den because they wanted to feature more technology companies. What
I quickly realised was that the Dragons don’t know how to value technology
companies!"

Today over 90% of stems sold in the UK come from Dutch flower markets. =
Over 40 years ago British blooms were sold all over the UK, but as oil =
prices rocketed in the 1970s, UK farmers couldn't afford to heat =
their greenhouses and most had to close. There were =
120 chrysanthemum farmers in 1970, by 2013 there were only =
three.<br>
<br>
But, the tide is starting to turn and the number of British flowers =
being sold at New Covent Garden Market has crept up from 10% to 12% in =
the last year. British flowers will also be the toast of the =
prestigious Chelsea Flower Show this year with Flowers from =
the Farm, a network of small British flower farmers, exhibiting for =
the first time.<br>
<br>
It=E2=80=99ll be Chelsea=E2=80=99s last show before Brexit; after which =
the cost of importing cut flowers is expected to increase by up to 1.3% =
(adding an extra =C2=A32bn a year in total). While most small businesses =
bemoan Brexit, flower farms across the UK may, in fact, benefit from a =
break with the EU.</p>

#202020;font-family: Helvetica;font-size: 16px;line-height: =
150%;text-align: left;">Pretty unusually for floristry businesses, =
they've been catching the eye of venture capitalists too. A number =
of flowers-by-post startups have raised hefty amounts. In February =
2017, Bloomon raised =C2=A316m. Two months later, Flowerbx received a =
=C2=A31.5m funding injection. Meanwhile, Bloom and Wild has raised over =
=C2=A37m in funding.</p>

potentially lucrative market: demand for cut flowers is on the up. In =
1998, Brits bought around =C2=A3112m-worth of imported flowers. By 2014, =
that figure had increased six-fold, to =C2=A3691m. If these small =
businesses can live up to their promises of better value and quality =
compared to incumbents like flower delivery firm Interflora, a =
significant chunk of that could be theirs for the taking.<br>
