Making good advice easy to come by

You have the idea, we have the experience. At Hugskotið it is our key objective to make sure that your idea grows into a thriving business. We guarantee world-class business advice.

Start with the business concept

A business concept is a description of your future business and a plan for how you intend to run and develop it. When you draw up your business concept, you create an overview, which makes it easier for others to see what you are working on.

A business concept features information about your budget, structure, sales, marketing and development opportunities.

A business concept helps you to:
  • construct and put into action your plan and vision
  • gather sector and product knowledge and convincing data
  • make better business decisions
  • demonstrate to investors that this is a sound investment
  • establish a basis for seeking advice effectively
  • demonstrate that your are committed and serious

When crafting your business concept it is easier to use a template.

Grow with the Growth Wheel

The Growth Wheel is a professionally recognised tool for start-ups and growing small businesses, and Hugskotið is certified to use it. The Growth Wheel is a simple clear method that enables us at Hugskotið to identify existing challenges and opportunities for growth.

There are four main challenges all start-ups must tackle, as they are the fundamental building blocks of any company. The challenges are establishing an interesting and competitive business concept, a robust structure, lasting customer relations, and profitable operations. These challenges are the same for all businesses. The Growth Wheel ensures that every factor is considered.

The atmosphere here is just inspiring. Being surrounded by people with a passion for what they do is enriching. And it’s invaluable to have them as a sounding board for all the details you need to focus on when building up a new business. It’s like being part of a team.

I started my own independent business in 2018 and felt very lonely in the company, which is just me. I applied for mentoring from Hugskotið and was then also told about the residencies there. Coming to co-work here was the best decision I ever made.
