Those with the strongest business ideas at the end of the programme can also earn the chance to reach ‘The Boardroom’ final and the opportunity to pitch for up to £5,000 investment towards start-up costs.

Finalists also get a year’s worth of invaluable one-to-one mentoring.

Everyone who completes the course also gains a qualification from The Institute of Enterprise and Entrepreneurs (IOEE).
