Welcome to Open for Business, where we’re exploring what really goes into running a successful business. It’s a deep dive into how women are turning their ideas into thriving ventures and will inspire (rather than terrify!) you to figure out the best way to get started. From staff costs to overheads, where does all that money go? In partnership with payment solution provider, Square, we’re asking brilliant businesswomen what inspires them, how they keep afloat and what they think are the biggest challenges of being an entrepreneur right now.
Meet Sasha Sabapathy, who founded Glow Bar in central London, a wellness company that uses adaptogen herbs and infrared saunas to help women find balance and manage stress.
