What is your area of trading (your aims)?
Co-op / Global trading.
Cooperative Company – percentage goes to the company and the rest is
split between employers. Later, we would turn into a Limited company.
Who are your targeted clients?
Professionals, companies, people who seek out
design for businesses.
How do you price your project?
Varies on task but roughly £50 p/h. 35% of
that would go back into the company which would then go down once we are
established. We would need part time jobs initially and a loan to start off
while also attending fairs etc to sell our work.
What are your terms and conditions?
Cooperative Company. A Disclaimer of
Liability. Pricing, for example if the clients wants variations and options.
Copyright will be released when full and final payment has been received. Once
a contract is sign, must pay the minimum agreed even if the client does not
wish to use our designs. Final proof reading is the responsibility of the
client and any mistakes will incur additional charges. If there are desired
changes then an additional cost will be needed from the client. Once a final
has been signed off, the company can not be held responsible financially or
otherwise for any errors relating to print, programming or any end product. Ongoing
and timely communication with the client is necessary for the progression of
the project. 50% of the total bill will be taken upfront at the signing of the
client’s contract, and this will have been discussed with the client beforehand
so they are aware of it. We have the right to reproduce, publish and display
for self promotion and advertisement. If the work produced for a client is used
in any way apart from what is agreed, the copyright is void and Moguh will retain
the rights to ownership. The relationship between Moguh and the client may be
terminated by either parties immediately. The client shall pay expenses up to
the termination point.
Future aims and ambitions
Expand as a company to become more global and
establish two large headquarters in Leeds and Eindhoven. To be successful.
Create a name for ourselves and to be sought out rather than seeking out
clients. Expand our client range and form relationships with high end clients. Hiring
developers and illustrators etc, to branch out to other areas. Offer different
departments but work collectively. We also aim to travel together and work in
other countries.
What do you offer as a business?
Interpreting the client's business needs and
developing a concept to suit their purpose. Estimating the time required to
complete the work and providing quotes for clients. Developing design briefs by
gathering information and data through research. Thinking creatively to produce
new ideas and concepts. Using innovation to redefine a design brief within the
constraints of cost and time. Presenting finalised ideas and concepts to
clients or account managers. As we are a large group, there will always be
someone who can take on the designs and to contact.

work such as posting flyers, selling work at fairs. Seeking out clients.
How might you progress from year one to year 3?
Hopefully we will or be on our way to breaking
even. We’ll be able to live off what we make and expand our knowledge and
skills as designers. Expand our client range and collages. Start internships
and give students the opportunity to work for us.
