“Anything that I’ve needed, Wenta have given me their utmost support. Michael was really knowledgeable about tax, profits and how to start my business – he really assured me I was going to be alright.” – Rebecca Coles, Barber

Rebecca Coles is a fully trained and qualified barber with over a decade of experience. She discovered her passion for barbering straight out of school and hasn’t looked back since. With a loyal client base, some of whom have been with her for more than 10 years, Rebecca has built her career around skill, dedication, and creativity in the hair industry.

Rebecca came across Wenta through her job and met Michael, one of Wenta’s business advisors. They got chatting about small businesses, and Michael pointed her in the right direction for becoming self-employed – from what she could claim to how to keep track of profits.

Through the Get Enterprising programme, Rebecca received practical, personalised advice. Michael explained how she could maximise her business by claiming allowable expenses like electrics, petrol and lunches, as well as understanding what makes her business profitable. “They touch base with you on what you want from your business, where you want to go and how you want to see it grow,” she says.

Today, Rebecca feels more confident running her own business and says she wouldn’t be where she is without Wenta’s help.
