Expansion potential
The core business of prime for expansion. And also creates its own after markets such as training & photography.

Competition / Market
This sector of the talent business is very competitive. However, it's also antiquated. And ripe for a company which can fill the gap between the older/traditional (and more often than not loss making)agencies. And the modern, but less trusted, entirely web based services.

Support & training
After an initial meeting, we will offer an intensive week long training course at the main office. This will be followed by year 1 around the clock phone support and site visits.
