Posted: Wed 26th Feb 2025
It's time for episode eight in series eight of the Small Business Sessions, Enterprise Nation's podcast powered by the business.connected online training programme and our partners Vodafone Business, Constant Contact, JP Morgan and Dropbox.
Episode eight: Olly Tyler, Shroot
Joining freelance journalist Dan Martin for the eighth and final episode in the current series is Olly Tyler, owner of greetings card business, Shroot.
Shroot creates eco-friendly, biodegradable cards that come with everything you need to grow microgreens, including the pot. It's a gift, card, experience and snack all in one.
Olly didn't start the business, but bought it as a failing venture. He has since turned it into a great success, and has also purchased two other businesses; Kabloom and Bottle Farm.
In the inspiring episode, Olly and Dan discuss:
Why Olly bought Shroot and his advice to others for buying a business.
How he turned a failing business into a success.
Oliver's advice for entrepreneurs struggling with their business.
Funding strategies for growing a business.
How being an Enterprise Nation member has benefitted Olly.
Big thanks for tuning into series eight of the Small Business Sessions. Look out for series nine coming soon!
