Seeking flexible work hours to fit with a young family, Tamera Peters entered the New Entrepreneurship Scholarship (NES) programme offered by Centa Business Services in 2004. The six month course, business grant, and Tamara’s advisor
James Walsh helped her learn about marketing and business planning while providing start up costs for her business that produces belly and baby casting kits and silver fingerprint jewelry for expectant and new mothers. Centa also provided ongoing advice and regular free seminars for Tamara and her business.
Belly casting is a very new idea and Tamera has capitalized on the growing demand for such services. She has also expanded her business to include home kits that allow customers to produce casting from the comfort of their home. Tamara’s goal is to double her turnover in the next 12 months.
Tamera knows from first hand experience that running your own business is hard, time consuming work. However, the rewards far outweigh the costs and Tamera says “there is freedom of choice, creativity, it’s never boring and every day is different.”
