START (Ability) enables individuals who were previously socially excluded to access statutory services, employment, leisure facilities, and in some cases, to start their own businesses.
START (Ability) omogoča posameznikom, ki so bili doslej izključeni iz družbe, dostop do zakonsko predpisanih storitev, zaposlovanja in ustanov za prosti čas, v nekaterih primerih pa jim pomaga ustanoviti tudi lastno podjetje.
The company helps these individuals make informed decisions by providing appropriate and accessible information and advice.
S posredovanjem ustreznih in dostopnih informacij ter svetovanjem jim pomaga sprejeti ozaveščene odločitve.
The event that inspired me to start my own business … … was a conversation with my wonderful husband!
Dogodek, ki me je navdihnil za ustanovitev lastnega podjetja,……je bil pogovor z mojim čudovitim možem!
I was ranting about how unjust it was that disabled people and the people who provide day-to-day support for them were not receiving quality services and practical support.
Pritoževala sem se nad tem, kako nepravično je, da invalidi in tisti, ki vsakodnevno skrbijo zanje, nimajo na voljo kakovostnih storitev in praktične podpore. Dejal mi je, naj se raje premaknem in poskrbim za to, da se to uredi!
The founder of START (Ability), Kath Sutherland, has a particularly insightful knowledge of the issues that affect disabled people, as she herself is disabled.
Ustanoviteljica podjetja START (Ability) Kath Sutherland še posebej dobro pozna težave, ki tarejo invalidne osebe, saj je tudi sama invalidka.
She works with many other organisations to find practical solutions to often very difficult issues.
Sodeluje s številnimi organizacijami, da bi našla praktične rešitve za pogosto zelo zapletene težave.
Among her successful ventures is an Easy Read version of “Setting up in Business?
Ali ste v razvoju proizvodov in storitev uporabljali kakšno nacionalno ali regionalno podporno shemo ali program za MSP?Po nasvet sem se zatekla k članom Mreže invalidnih podjetnikov, ki so mi dali neprecenljive informacije o tem, kako ustanoviti podjetje kot invalidna oseba.
A Resource Guide for disabled people and their advisors”, business consulting and providing training materials and support to disabled people who are organising or managing groups.
Povedali so mi, na kakšne načine lahko prejemam finančno pomoč za izplačilo mojega pomočnika in podporne tehnologije, ki jo potrebujem za delo z računalnikom.
I sought the advice of the Disabled Entrepreneurs’Network, who provided me with invaluable information about setting up a business as a disabled person.
Med njenimi uspešnimi posli so objava skrajšane izdaje priročnika „Ustanavljate podjetje?
They told me about ways in which I could receive financial help to pay for my support worker and the assistive technology that I needed to use a computer.
Vodnik za invalide in njihove svetovalce“, poslovno svetovanje ter nudenje gradiva za usposabljanje in pomoč invalidom, ki organizirajo ali vodijo skupine.
For me, the best thing about being an entrepreneur is …Knowing that I don’t have to compromise on standards or principles as START (Ability) is my vision.
Zame je najboljša stvar pri podjetništvu…Zavedanje, da mi ni treba sprejemati kompromisov glede standardov ali načel, saj je START (Ability) moja vizija.
What would you tell an entrepreneur who is faced with a crisis?Don’t give up!
Kaj bi svetovali podjetniku, ki se sooča s krizo?Ne predajte se!
Every business goes through rough patches.
Vsako podjetje gre skozi težka obdobja.
Success is finding alternative ways of overcoming the crisis.
Uspeh je najti alternativne načine prebroditve krize.

“Do something passionately and it will bring good results.”
„Če delate nekaj s strastjo, bo vam to prineslo dobre rezultate.“
My passion for a natural lifestyle and my hobby of making organic cosmetics at home led me to start MADARA cosmetics.
Do ustanovitve MADARA Cosmetics sta me pripeljala strast za naraven slog življenja in konjiček izdelave domače organske kozmetike.
Yes, we received a small grant from an ESF programme that supports female entrepreneurs.
Da, prejeli smo majhno subvencijo programa ESS, ki spodbuja ženske v podjetništvu.
It helped us to buy some laboratory equipment needed for product development.
Pomagalo nam je kupiti nekaj laboratorijske opreme, ki jo potrebujemo za razvoj proizvodov.
MADARA produces a range of natural and organic cosmetics using raw materials found in Latvia.
MADARA izdeluje široko ponudbo naravne in organske kozmetike z uporabo surovin, ki jih najdemo v Latviji. Znamka je pridobila certifikat v skladu z mednarodnim standardom ECOCERT, ki je strožji od običajnih pravil, ki urejajo področje kozmetike.
This guarantees that there has been a genuine practice of environmental respect throughout the production process and that natural substances of a superior ecological quality have been sourced.
To zagotavlja da celoten proizvodni postopek temelji na pristnem spoštovanju okolja in da so bile uporabljene naravne snovi najvišje ekološke kakovosti.
Energy-efficient production equipment is used and the packaging is also environmentally friendly.
V proizvodnji uporabljamo energijsko učinkovito opremo, okolju prijazna pa je tudi embalaža.
MADARA has been recognised as the greenest enterprise in Latvia.
MADARA je bila razglašena za najbolj zeleno podjetje v Latviji.
What would you tell an entrepreneur who is faced with a crisis?Evaluate what the needs in the market are.
Kaj bi svetovali podjetniku, ki se sooča s krizo?Ocenite, kakšne so potrebe na trgu.
Talk to people and monitor the situation carefully.
Govorite z ljudmi in natančno spremljajte situacijo.
Just three years after launching, the products are being sold in 23countries worldwide (not only EU countries, but also Mexico, Japan, Korea, Hong Kong, Singapore, Malaysia, Ukraine, etc.).
Po samo treh letih od sprostitve na trg proizvode prodajamo v 23 državah po vsem svetu (ne le v državah EU, pač pa tudi v Mehiki, na Japonskem, v Koreji, Hong Kongu, Singapurju, Maleziji, Ukrajini itd.).
And in 2010 MADARA plans to also start co-operation with USA, Russia and China.
Leta 2010 pa Madara načrtuje tudi začetek sodelovanja z ZDA, Rusijo in Kitajsko.
For me, the best thing about being an entrepreneur is …… being a creative and positive person.
Zame je najboljša stvar pri podjetništvu……biti ustvarjalna in pozitivna oseba.

“The first half of your life you work for reputation; the second half of your life, reputation works for you.”
„V prvi polovici svojega življenja delaš za ugled, v drugi polovici pa ugled dela zate.“
The event that inspired me to start my own business … … was the collapse of the Soviet Union and the declaration of Estonian independence.
Dogodek, ki me je navdihnil za ustanovitev lastnega podjetja,……je bil propad Sovjetske Zveze in razglasitev samostojnosti Estonije.
At the same time, the lack of knowledge of how the rules of sales and marketing worked in a capitalist system was quite a challenge.
Hkrati je bilo pomanjkanje znanja o pravilih prodaje in trženja v kapitalističnem sistemu pravi izziv.
Audes LLC produces high-quality electronic devices, with a focus on speakers in all shapes and sizes.
Audes d.o.o. izdeluje visokokakovostne elektronske naprave, s poudarkom na zvočnikih vseh možnih oblik in velikosti.
The company’s approach goes beyond quality, by striving to capture the very essence and importance of sound and the thoughts it provokes.
Pristop podjetja presega kakovost s prizadevanjem, da bi zajeli samo bistvo in pomen zvoka ter misli, ki jih sproža.
Ultimately Audes’ goal is to recreate the sounds of nature and, in just one listen, to deliver the harmony of life through the richness of sounds.
Končni cilj podjetja Audes je posnemati zvoke narave in že pri prvem poslušanju skozi bogastvo zvokov v prostor vnesti harmonijo življenja.
The company does not just aim to improve sound, it aims to improve listeners.
Podjetje ne stremi samo k izboljšavam zvoka, izboljšati želi tudi poslušalce.
What is the specific quality that distinguishes your product and service from its competitors?
Katera posebna lastnost razlikuje vaš proizvod instoritve od konkurenčnih?Če stranka ni zadovoljna s kakovostjo, težavo kar najhitreje odpravimo na svoje stroške.
If a customer has a quality issue, we fix it as fast as possible and do it at our own expense.
Raje izgubimo denar, kot da bi izgubili ugled.
We prefer to lose money rather than our reputation.
Kaj bi svetovali podjetniku, ki se sooča s krizo?Verjemite vase in to podkrepite z vztrajnejšim delom.
Although it is a quite small company by EU standards, with 63 employees and 25 million Estonian kroons (ca. €1.6million) turnover in 2009 (previously, it has been higher), the company has found many “exotic” markets for export.
Čeprav je podjetje po standardih EU precej majhno, s 63 zaposlenimi in 25 milijoni estonskih kron (pribl.
For example they sell speakers in Bahrain, Egypt, Oman, Norway, Kuwait, Russia, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Taiwan, Yemen, the USA, Ukraine and most of the EU countries.
1,6 milijona €) prometa v letu 2009 (pred tem je bil višji), je podjetje našlo mnogo „eksotičnih“ izvoznih trgov.
What would you tell another entrepreneur who is faced with a crisis?You should believe in yourself, and reinforce that with more persistent work.
Zvočnike prodajajo na primer v Bahrajnu, Egiptu, Omanu, na Norveškem, v Kuvajtu, Rusiji, Katarju, Saudovi Arabiji, Tajvanu, Jemnu, ZDA, Ukrajini in v večini držav EU.
What is your advice to those who are considering starting their own business?You should understand that once you start your own business, you will have the cruellest employer – yourself.
Kakšen nasvet bi dali tistim, ki razmišljajo o lastnem poslu?Razumeti morate, da ko enkrat zaženete svoj posel, boste imeli najbolj okrutnega delodajalca od vseh – samega sebe.

“Of course I can do it!”
„Seveda zmorem!“
What inspired me to start my own business … One day my six-year-old neighbour showed me her mobile phone.
Kaj vas je navdihnilo za lasten posel? Nekega dne mi je sosedova šestletnica pokazala svoj mobilni telefon.
I was shocked that kids at this age were mobile phone users.
Pretreslo me je, da otroci že pri teh letih uporabljajo mobilne telefone.
Realising that my daughter would soon want her own, I looked for a solution to ensure that she would be safe when using one.
Ko sem se zavedela, da bo moja hči kmalu hotela imeti svoj mobilni telefon, sem poiskala rešitev, s katero bi zagotovila, da bo pri uporabi mobilnega telefona varna.
When I couldn’t find a solution that I liked, I had to make it myself – so I started Bipper!
Ko nisem mogla najti rešitve, ki bi mi bila všeč, sem si jo morala izmisliti sama – in tako sem ustanovila Bipper!
When Silje Vallestad realised that her young children would soon be using mobile phones, she wanted to find a way to ensure that they would be safe while using them.
Ko je Silje Vallestad ugotovila, da bodo njeni majhni otroci kmalu pričeli uporabljati mobilnike, je želela najti način, kako bi ji lahko uporabljali varno.
The lack of existing options led her to establish Bipper Communication, which develops software solutions for making mobile phones safer and better adapted for use by children.
Zaradi nezadostnih obstoječih možnosti je ustanovila Bipper Communications, ki razvija programske rešitve za izdelavo mobilnih telefonov, ki so varnejši in bolje prilagojeni otrokom.
Its services are web-based and target parents.
Storitve podjetja temeljijo na spletu in so namenjene staršem.
Through an easy-to-use online administration portal, parents can define and set limits on how their young children use their mobile phones.
Prek upraviteljskega portala, ki ga je mogoče preprosto uporabljati, lahko starši določijo in postavijo meje načinom, kako njihovi otroci uporabljajo svoje mobilne telefone.
Parents can also equip phones with a safety alarm and locate the phone (and their child) through online mapping.
Starši lahko opremijo telefone tudi z varnostnim alarmom in poiščejo telefon (in svojega otroka) prek spletnega zemljevida.
Through its Do Good Foundation, Bipper Communication is also willing to involve, empower and enable children and young people to participate in creating a safer and better world.
Bipper Communication želi prek fundacije Do Good vključiti otroke in mlade, jih spodbujati ter jim omogočiti, da sodelujejo pri ustvarjanju varnejšega in boljšega sveta.
What were your biggest obstacles or fears when starting your own business? When founding Bipper, I had no knowledge of either technology or telecommunications.
Kaj je za vas predstavljajo največjo oviro ali strah pri ustanovitvi lastnega podjetja?Ko sem ustanavljala Bipper, nisem imela nobenega znanja, ne o tehnologiji ne o telekomunikacijah.
All I had was a vision of the product I wanted for my young family and myself, but I did not know whether it would be possible to make it.
Vse, kar sem imela, je bila vizija proizvoda, ki sem ga želela za svojo mlado družino in zase, vendar pa nisem vedela, ali bo to sploh mogoče narediti.
I really started from scratch and needed to fight my way forward.
Res sem začela iz nič in sem se morala boriti na poti navzgor.
Giving up a secure and well-paid job was tough, but I had to go for it 100 per cent.
Težko se je bilo odpovedati varni in dobro plačani službi, vendar pa sem morala zadevi predati 100-odstotno.
In developing your product and service(s), have you been using any support schemes for small- and medium-sized enterprises?Yes.
Ali ste v razvoju proizvodov in storitev uporabljali kakšno podporno shemo za MSP?Da.
Innovation Norway has been a great support.
Podjetje Innovation Norway mi je bilo v veliko oporo.
In addition, our company has been located in an incubator for the first two years, providing a great network and advisory services right next door.
Poleg tega je bilo naše podjetje prvi dve leti v inkubatorju, ki je ponujal odlično omrežje in svetovanje na dosegu roke.
Has the recent economic crisis affected your business strategy in any way?The recent recession forced Bipper to turn away from the capital-inten-sive development of its own Bipper-Mobile to instead focus on developing an innovative software solution.
Ali je zadnja ekonomska kriza kakor koli vplivala na vašo poslovno strategijo?Nedavna recesija je prisilila Bipper, da se je obrnil stran od stroškovno zahtevnega razvoja lastnega mobilnega telefona Bipper-Mobile in se namesto tega osredotočil na razvoj inovativne programske rešitve.
This change of focus turned out to be positive as it minimized our capital binding.
Ta sprememba osredotočenosti se je izkazala za pozitivno, saj je zmanjšala naš vezani kapital.
We were however close to bankruptcy several times.
Kljub temu pa smo bili kar nekajkrat blizu bankrota.
It was really tough!
Res je bilo težko.

The Allegria company arranges various kinds of unconventional experiences – such as cultural or sport events, gastronomic or wellness services, or even adrenalin kicks – which can be presented as gifts to individuals and corporate clients.
Podjetje Allegria prireja številne nenavadne izkušnje na primer kulturne ali športne dogodke, kulinarične storitve, storitve za zdravje in dobro počutje ali celo vsebine z adrenalinskim nabojem, ki jih lahko podarite kot darila posameznikom ali organizacijam.
In developing your services, have you been using any support programmes for SMEs? The Czech Chamber of Commerce helped us to gain ISO 9001:2001.
Ali ste se pri razvijanju svojih storitev kdaj oprli na programe za podporo podjetnikom?Gospodarska zbornica Češke republike nam je pomagala da pridobimo standard ISO 9001:2001.
While still at University, Linda Vavříková started her business at the end of 2004, after realising that choosing gifts for relatives and friends was often quite difficult.
Linda Vavříková je svoje podjetje ustanovila že v času študija na univerzi ob koncu leta 2004, potem ko je spoznala, da je izbira daril za sorodnike in prijatelje pogosto zelo težka.
She realised that similar business models already existed in western countries and decided to develop this idea in Czech and Slovak Republics.
Ugotovila je, da podobni poslovni modeli v zahodnih državah že obstajajo, in se odločila, da bo to zamisel razvila tudi na Češkem in Slovaškem.
It can be said that she and her staff have actually created this market segment in both countries.
Lahko rečemo, da je s svojim osebjem pravzaprav ustvarila ta tržni segment v obeh državah.
Later she was awarded as the Czech Starting-up Businessperson of the Year 2008.
Pozneje je prejela nagrado za češko vzhajajočo poslovno osebnost leta 2008.
Has the recent economic crisis affected your business strategy in any way?Yes, people started to buy cheaper experiences and we had less B2B clients last year.
Ali je zadnja ekonomska kriza kakor koli vplivala na vašo poslovno strategijo?Da, ljudje so začeli kupovati bolj cenene izkušnje in imeli smo manj poslovnih kupcev v preteklem letu.
It changed at the end of the year, Christmas was a real success.
To se je spreobrnilo na koncu leta, Božič je bil pravi uspeh.
For me, the best thing about being an entrepreneur is …… my liberty to decide.
Najboljša reklama za Allegrio so zadovoljne stranke, ki drugim pripovedujejo o svojih dogodivščinah, podjetje pa sedaj lahko ponudi širok izbor izkustev, ki so prilagojena pričakovanjem strank.
The best publicity for Allegria is having satisfied clients talk about their adventures to others, and the company is now able to offer a large range of experiences based on the client’s expectations.

What were your biggest obstacles when starting your own business? As one of the first private businesses in Albania, we always had – and occasionally still have – to travel unknown roads filled with obstacles big and small.
