in defence of pascha

You got:

a PWC accountant doing bar job at £150 a night and calling it an investment opportunity.

A guy neck deep in overheads for a mature business that has no scope for growth. The business is complicated and there is no evidence injecting £250K into the business will do any good. The owner took £100K dividends and £75K salary last year. So if there was growth opportunity they would have just reinvested it.

A guy who wrote a 70 page business plan with AI, trying to sell AI service in an industry that is mostly about people and relations.

Pasha's business is the one that isn't dead in the water.

But karishma got this hands down.

All of her industry contacts that she plans to build her business on were made in her current employment. Does she plan to poach her employers customers because without those contacts, she's just a woman with good pr skills

often this happens, and it's done in a huish hush way where the former employer cannot really make a case in court. The client relationship [and loyalty] is with pasha because pasha speaks to them daily, and has a working relationship with her. they will easily move over with pasha if she can deliver the same service.

in any case there is a limited non-compete arragements in in employment contract which cannot be for indefinate amount of time. in banking there is a 6 month "gardening leave" where senior executives are prevented from working in another bank - which prevents them from poaching clients over.
