TeenBiz is the UK's first business start up scheme aimed at teens 13-18
Launching 1st November, to coincide with Global Entrepreneurship week www.gew.org.uk.
From the 1st January every month two students* will receive up to £500 start up funding, a business mentor and a start up pack. We're calling it 'Business in a Box' which will give students items they need to do business for real; for example Companies House set up, business cards, a website, a stationary voucher, office space, USB sticks, logo design, legal advice and virtual PA service. Winners will also receive a Natwest Business Bank Account.
TeenBiz aims to provide talented entrepreneurs a step on the ladder and over the next 3 years we aim to help 100 new businesses.
