00:05Hi my name's Luke. I'm Michelle Scottney. Together we've founded SweetsformerSweets.com.
00:14Luke has been interested in business since he was about eight years old. My idea was
00:19a sweet business which is allergy friendly and completely not free because I have a severe
00:25business. So it's about October that he pitched the idea. We looked at getting some stock and
00:32everything there's a local supplier we went there but we had to try and get a website up
00:36and running. That was difficult because I think at one point we got quoted in £8,000 which
00:42was ridiculous and obviously that was never going to happen. And then we figured out exactly
00:47what we were doing. And it took us about a day. And it took us about a day from start
00:50to finish. We've got huge variety and we're hoping to grow and help people. Because you
01:00can never get sweets because even though there's other people that do pick and mix sweets they
01:06usually do it with other nut brands. We don't have anything with nuts. Obviously because you've
01:12got a nut allergy we don't even have it in the house. And we're also trying to help people
01:15with other allergies as well aren't we. Yeah. All the revenue from the business. 50% goes
01:23back to cover the stocks. 25% goes into investment in the business. 12% goes to pay back the
01:30bank
01:31of mum and dad. And 12% goes into Luke's savings. Hopefully we can expand in the future. You're
01:36looking at maybe bringing in nut free diabetic sweets and nut free vegan sweets and sort of
01:41growing the brand like that as well. But at the moment we just want to do what you're
01:45doing. You're always looking for the next thing. What can I be investing in? What
01:49can I be saving? And things like that. Not the average 11 year old.

01:54OK, Isn't this sweet.
01:55Why don't you want to sit around in the house with your
01:57emotions?
