You mean like Brentford. Still need a helping hand start though and of course some luck.

Didn't have Brentford in mind tbh. More Plymouth and a few others. A helping hand is certainly needed. Ultimately, a well run business will work.

We can only dream of the leg up Brentford have/are receiving from the Local Council.

I've been watching a bit of Dragon's Den recently and pretty sure they wouldn't get investment based on these figures - The Axis M&E UK Group prior to dissolving of the business had a turnover in 2018 of approx. £34m (+64% on previous year), a profit of 16.5k. I haven't read the report in detail where it probably explains why this is but profits after tax seem to slide from 2015 where they are 615,000 (on a turnover of 10m) and then in 2016 turnover is doubled yet the profit falls to less than 100k. If someone with half a business brain could explain this, it would be much appreciated.

Indeed they did, and quite substantially. Presumably that was why that part of the company was dissolved then?

Be interested to know what if anything the other non axis creditors received, otherwise there is c.£1m of money lost to other companies, it may be standard practice but still leaves people out of pocket.

Showing a miniscule profit on paper is standard business practice, especially for multinational companies with an overseas parent. The UK generated income will flow back to the parent as a "cost".
It's a legit way of minimising UK taxes. It's exactly what the likes of Amazon and Facebook do. It's tax avoidance, which is perfectly legal, just morally frowned upon.

Thanks Samdy for the explanation.

So we can rule out Deborah Meaden as Clems silent partner then?

I suspect the 'green queen' wouldn't be keen to get involved, no!

Benham has reportedly invested £90m in Brentford - quite a helping hand. The guy at Plymouth has invested £6m according to the beeb. This reads similar to supposed investment over the last few years at STFC if memory serves correct. Yet the two clubs have very different future outlooks on the face of it adding weight to your point about a well run business
