In our fifth episode, Sharmadean learns all about managing a subscription business with Alessandro Savelli, founder, MD and CEO of London-based Pasta Evangelists, who deliver restaurant quality pasta dishes and recipes on a subscription basis.  Sharmadean and Alessandro dive into the finances of running a subscription business, including the challenges of starting a food subscription business prior to the market being highly saturated. They also discuss market research, surprising early costs associated with founding an enterprise, and the importance of scoping out a team that specialises in areas of business and finance that differ to your own.  For more tips and advice on how to run a small business, visit: https://www.americanexpress.com/en-gb/business/trends-and-insights/   Host: Sharmadean Reid @sharmadeanreid Guest: Alessandro Savelli Pasta Evangelists Produced by Palm Tree Island - http://www.palmtreeisland.co.ukSee omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.
