Anyone looking to get into self employment might consider starting their own woodworking business. If you are a bit of a handyperson then it really is the low cost business start up.

You can find them online and a set of plans can include hundreds of different projects for you to tackle.

With the minimum amount of tools you can start off very small and work your way up to bigger projects as funds and confidence increase. Typically you could begin by making and supplying something as small as bird nesting boxes, bird tables etc and then move on up to dog kennels, rabbit hutches and so on.

Your local pet shops, garden centres and hardware stores would be your ideal start up customers. Initially you would only need to make one item, say a bird nest box, go and visit your local retailers and take orders from the one sample. With the approach of summer garden furniture is always a popular seller and not at all difficult to make.

Having established yourself and made a bit of cash you can move on to bigger items. Wood sheds, garden sheds and the like are good sellers and relatively easy to produce. You can make the various sections at your chosen place of work and assemble them on site. Again you will probably find the designs for these goods included in your original set of woodworking plans.

To summarise it is possible to start your own woodworking business for less than $100 with nothing more than a set of woodworking plans, some second-hand tools and a little bit of get up and go!

UK Childrenswear Retailers 2010 is a comprehensive analysis of the UK sector. Childrenswear has proved to be the most resilient of the clothing sectors during the recession, but some retailers have been more adept at gaining share. This report explains the challenges and issues retailers face, as well as the opportunities the market offers for future growth.  (

Scope

* Market value 1999-2009e including girls, boys and infantswear market sizes. Channel value and shares, space allocation and advertising spend.
* Profiles of 16 major operators including Asda, Adams, Gap, H&M, M&S, Matalan, Mothercare, Primark, Tesco, and a new addition on smaller specialists.
* Five year market shares, 10 year trading records and store portfolios, sale densities, space allocation, advertising spend, key operating statistics.
* Outlook for market and analysis of threat from smaller niche operators, non specialists and online development.

Highlights

Though the childrenswear market will decline by 0.1% in 2009 this will be less than adult sectors, and infantswear will increase thanks to a mini baby boom. The most important change is in volume, which we expect to slump from growth of 4.0% in 2008 to a decline of 0.1%. This represents a challenge for childrenswear retailers.

Retailers have won share primarily as a result of Woolworths’ demise in late 2008. The 5.4% market share this freed up has been spread across the market but value retailers and grocers are the main beneficiaries. Grocers collectively have gained £324 million in 2009.

Childrenswear specialists have continued to lose share – only Mothercare and Adams remain as significant operators, with the former having the most potential to grow its business in both the UK and internationally. Clothing specialists hold the largest share of the market – accounting for over half the £4.23bn market in 2009.

Reasons to Purchase

* Benchmark your business against competitors and the market with comprehensive data and expert analysis.
* Identify growth opportunities and develop effective business plans by comparing retailers’ tactics and using our advice on strategies for success.
* Understand the dynamics of the market and which categories will produce further market share gains once Woolworths’ share has been absorbed.
