Incubation

It is tough for entrepreneurs to get started with their “big ideas”. Having seen far too many young (and some not so young) flounder and lose precious seed capital we have designed a number of small business consulting services to support the entrepreneurial process, helping to increase the survival rates for innovative start up companies who become customers. We will only deal with entrepreneurs with feasible projects where they will be offered a specialised menu of support resources and services.

The resources open to the entrepreneur include:

Commercialisation of IP

Often, though not always, it is important to protect and commercialise the intellectual property in an early stage growth phase as a way of creating substantial new value for the organisation. This process may require patents or copyrights or preservation of trade secrets. Other small business consulting services offered cover business names, logos and similar branding techniques that can benefit from trademark protection. In Australia, patents, trademarks, trade secrets and copyright is governed by law and we will engage professional partners to assist with the necessary legal advice.

Depending upon the size and resources of our customers, our approach to commercialising the intellectual property will vary but overall we have developed a successful multi-step model for the commercialisation of IP and innovation by linking a number of key steps.
