If you have a vegan business, you have found your tribe

Natasha and Ed Tatton swapped the UK for British Columbia, opening a vegan organic sourdough bakery in a Canadian mountain resort village. Lisa talks to Natasha of BReD about their adventure of opening a plant-based bakery in the Whistler mountains, winning over the locals and what it’s like running a business with your partner!

Many of our Vegan Business Tribe members have been running offers throughout Veganuary. From tips for the new vegan in your life, through to improving your diet, vegan knitwear and tools for your business – here are four of our favourites!

If you have developed a new product or process in the UK then you can claim money back for your research and development costs. And this isn’t just white coats and clipboards in laboratories. As a vegan business, there are lots of ways that your company might have been involved in research without you realising it. We talk to Michael Newnham from Quantum R&D Tax Ltd to find out who qualifies.

If you have visited a vegan fair there’s a good chance you will have seen a Viva La Vegan clothing stand. Or you may have seen a number of animal activists proudly wearing the Viva La Vegan brand. Lisa talks to founder Jay Charlton about how she created a brand that embraces fashion as activism.

Recorded live at VegfestUK online, David brings together three experts in funding to answer all your questions about how to fund a vegan business. Are you wondering how to raise finance for your business? Should you launch a crowdfunding campaign, should you get a bank loan, or maybe you should try and attract an investor? Our expert panel answers all these questions and more.

Now you can listen to great vegan business advice whilst you are walking the dog, doing your workout, catching up on the ironing, on your commute, cooking or practising yoga! Listen to a new episode every week on Spotify, iTunes, Google or wherever you get your podcasts.

This is where all the magic happens at Vegan Business Tribe!
At our vegan business clinics, we spend an hour with a small group of members to talk about what problems they have in their business right now – and usually, as a group, we solve them! Watch back November’s clinic where we were joined by Emma from Vegan Adventure Holidays, Ellie from Vojo, Dr Laura from Plant Based Health Online and Adam from Green Beets Kitchen.
