Spirit of Enterprise

The Spirit of Enterprise project, provides ‘test trading’ opportunities absolutely free!

Spirit of Enterprise is designed to help budding entrepreneurs into self-employment and business. Our aim is simple - to give you the helping hand you need to begin trading. There are no fees, just support from a team of business advisers for a period of up to 3 months.
Whatever your background, your previous experience or current situation, we want to help unleash the entrepreneur in you. We are not expecting you to know everything about starting and running a business or selling from a shop; that is what we are here to help with. As long as you have the enthusiasm and determination to succeed, we will help with the rest.

What we provide:
Encouragement and personal guidance.
A taste of ‘real life’ business experience
Business support and advice along the way from our experienced business advisers. 
Office facilities to use for pre-start office based businesses.  
Space in a high street shop from which you can display your products and actually start to sell to the public.  

What you will gain:
If you have the determination to turn a hobby or a skill into a potential business, then being on the Spirit of Enterprise project could give you the opportunity to create a new future for yourself. 

Build personal confidence.
Test your ideas.
Find out what sells.
Learn new business skills.
Map out a potential new career.

We hope that by working together, we can unleash your entrepreneurial spirit and set you on the path to your new business future.
