Starting a business during the height of the pandemic might sound like a bold move, but who dares wins for these Broadland and Great Yarmouth entrepreneurs.
A range of businesses started up during lockdown, finding their niche in unusual times. But how many are still going, and what are their fortunes?
Francesca Cornish-Hollingsworth, owner of Chesca's Pizzeria and Takeaway in Reedham, started her business by touring her renovated 1970s caravan when restrictions were higher.
"We could pop up anywhere," Miss Cornish-Hollingsworth said.
"It worked out so well."
However, a change in eating habits after lockdown forced the entrepreneur to alter her business plan.
Miss Cornish-Hollingsworth said: ""Now that lockdown is over everyone wants to go out and eat.
"People don't seem to want street food that much.
"We'd had a couple of quiet weeks and we didn't know what to do."
Miss Cornish-Hollingsworth decided to operate from a fixed premises and at the beginning of November, she will be running her pizzeria from Cannell's Farm in Reedham.
"It's going to be somewhere people can come and sit down," Miss Cornish-Hollingsworth said.
Retro style pick and mix company, The Candy Bag began selling assorted sweets online in July 2020.
"We are extremely lucky," Miss Ellis said.
"Orders were quieter throughout the summer but we put that down to people enjoying staycations and family days out.
"Though we did receive orders from people who were holidaying nearby."
Miss Ellis said she felt encouraged by her new customers and is hopeful that the business will continue to grow.
Lucas Smith, 24, opened cocktail and dessert bar In The Mix on Great Yarmouth seafront in November 2020.
"We started off just doing takeaways and it was really busy to start off with," said Mr Smith.
"We felt ready to then open up the bar once restrictions were lifted."
Inspired by cocktail bars in Norwich and London, Mr Smith and his partner Jasmine Carrier made In The Mix an Instagrammable venue for customers.
"We were really busy when we first opened despite the Track and Trace and ongoing restrictions.
"Over the summer, business in the bar was a little up and down.
"Now the weather is getting colder, deliveries have picked up again and we're getting busy again."
