John Henry Flowers secures £15k to relocate to larger premises
The micro loan from the Development Bank of Wales will fund the fit-out of a new shop in Cardiff.
John Henry Flowers is a florist in Cardiff providing occasion arrangements, house plants, and botanical accessories.
John Henry Flowers has secured a £15k loan from the Development Bank of Wales to fund its relocation to larger premises in Cardiff.
The capital will cover the shop fit-out, provide working capital for additional stock, and help support higher rent following increased demand for house plants and accessories.
The business was founded in 2021 by Michael Webb and John Sartain.
From the founder
"Our landlord contacted us to explain that a larger shop in Wellfield Court was becoming available and it was ideal timing as we needed more space and wanted to take advantage of a larger shop front with more passing trade."
John Sartain
Director at John Henry Flowers
Investor perspective
"Small businesses are the lifeblood of our economy so we’re working hard to provide loans that help business owners to take advantage of new opportunities and ease cashflow. John and Michael have done a great job fitting out their new shop and now have the physical and financial space to grow."
