Adventure Tours UK was initially self-funded whilst Claire focused on building the brand through partnerships and PR trips that told a story and made it clear they were “going places”. With immense support from a business mentor, they went out and successfully found investors who really understand their goal to firmly stamp the UK onto the adventure travel map.

Then, Covid hit in 2020 and travel was cancelled. Amazingly, the investment didn’t fall through because they had the right investors onboard who felt a strong moral commitment to them. When your investors feel more like partners, you know they’re the right fit!

In this episode you’ll discover:

The importance of building a strong brand at the start
What a business mentor can do for you
How to find investors that feel like partners
