Searching for Success

Forage Safaris

Forage Safaris owner Jan Stewart combines farming, food, travel and adventure in her luxury food safari experience treating people to a South West back-road adventure, showcasing some of the region’s best produce. 
When Jan first came to IPS in 2020, her goal was to pass the first two-years “hump” that sees so many business start-ups fall. Forage Safaris has gone from strength to strength with the support of IPS Business Advisory.

Jan first contacted IPS Business Advisory to discuss the business concept and discover whether her business idea was viable. Jan used the 1:1 advisory sessions to help grow her understanding of what she needed to do to bring her concept to life and also attended several Business Local workshops and group learning sessions. She also took advantage of one of our Referral Partners who offered legal advice.
​
When asked about IPS Business Advisory, Jan said of her Business Advisor Sana Turnock: “Sana has become my go to for advice and support during every step of my business journey.  Putting the business plan together was easier than I thought it would be and I was ready to open my doors within eight months of the initial meeting.”
​
Jan goes on to say: “Without the guidance of IPS and their knowledge and expertise, new businesses are very much in the dark as to what they need to do to plan and prepare to run their business. My aim is to be running this business well into the future, and not have to close down within two years due to lack of planning. The IPS support and information has been integral to Forage Safaris operations.”
