							A Strategic thinking and feasibility study is an effective way to safeguard against the wastage of investment or scarce resources. Organisations can reduce the risk of developing unpopular and impractical projects by conducting a feasibility study. A business plan can start only after a proposed business idea has been proven feasible. If feasible, we can proceed with a high level of confidence that the business plan will result in a profitable opportunity. It will provide a âroadmapâ that shows how a business may be created and developed.

As well as being the owner and manager of The Scottish Soapworks, Jenny is an award-winning graphic designer with many years of experience creating brands for a range of clients including Arran Aromatics, Fairtrade and Matthew Algie Coffee.
These one-to-one brand design surgeries are perfect for creatives who want to start making money from&nbsp;selling&nbsp;what they make, or for existing entrepreneurs and small creative businesses who want to review their current branding.
In this 1.5 hour, one-to-one brand design surgery you will discuss:&nbsp;your&nbsp;business idea; a brief to create&nbsp;your&nbsp;brand identity; and how you will apply&nbsp;your&nbsp;brand to ensure you have a recognisable &#39;look&#39; across all&nbsp;your&nbsp;digital and printed products and marketing materials - everything from packaging to social media, and business cards to aprons.
Jenny will follow up&nbsp;your&nbsp;session with notes from the conversation, and practical suggestions on how to design&nbsp;your&nbsp;brand, and apply it to various marketing materials.&nbsp;Appointments are available throughout the day and evening starting from 9.30am.

The Arienas Collective workshops, courses and events are run from a supportive and welcoming home-based environment within a Georgian mews home in Edinburgh&rsquo;s City Centre New Town. We invite you to join us, leave any day-to-day worries behind, and immerse yourself in being creative.
Spaces on our workshops and courses are limited so that our creative team of artists and makers can offer you the hands-on help and support you need to make the most of your time with us.&nbsp;
All the equipment and materials you will need are included in the price, unless stated otherwise, plus light refreshments (a selection of Shibui teas, coffee, hot chocolate, and sweet or savoury snacks). On full day workshops you are welcome to bring your own lunch to eat inside or out; or there are a wide range of independent sit-in or takeaway delis, caf&eacute;s, and restaurants, plus supermarkets, within a 5-10 minute walk.
PLEASE NOTE: Our workshop space is on the first-floor of a Georgian mews building and unfortunately we do not have lift access. The workshop space is in our home which is&nbsp;not&nbsp;nut free. Please let us know of any skin or food allergies before booking.
Private workshop bookings
Most of our workshops are also available to book for small private get-togethers; themed wedding and birthday celebrations; corporate team building and well-being purposes; and as in-store retail events. For larger groups, many of our workshops can be brought to a location of your choice. Please email Lynn or phone 07732 901150 for more information.
Age restrictions
Our workshops are planned with adults in mind. Many are suitable for teenagers, but some may require under 16s to be accompanied for insurance purposes. Please check with us before booking.

Have you ever dreamt of turning your creative passion into a career?&nbsp;If so, you&#39;re not alone.
