Niamh believes there's never been a better time for women to start up a business, thanks to the flexibility of working online.
"Running an online business gives you a huge amount of autonomy, because you can do what you like in between. You can manage your time better, so there's a real opportunity for females in the online space to not only start a business but grow a business.
"You don't need an office or a shop – our little business is still run out of a couple of garages and a store room, yet we export all over the world."
Host Dan Martin and Niamh discuss:
how to build an online presence
how to solve the problem of copycats
why it's important to target the right market
