Enterprise & Innovation - Group target - Research on location and personal assets

Below is a list of my personal assets that I can bring to the business to help kick start it and to save money on lots of equipment which would be difficult to find funding for.

My Personal Assets

- Desktop MacPro 21.5"

- Adobe Creative Suite CS5.5 Master Collection

- Wacom Bamboo A5 Graphic Tablet and Stylus Pen, Software included

- HP Inkjet printer, scanner, photocopier

- Books - artistic, design based, illustration based

The second target for our group which we set ourselves was to investigate 2 locations which we would consider to base our business.
