Specialised start-up business support for people with challenging circumstances
At Enterprise Junction we are very aware that many people dream of running their own business and have inspiring ideas, but for various reasons, they have barriers to face and hurdles to get over and this can stop people even thinking about starting a business.
We have extensive experience of working with people from deprived areas and with disadvantaged backgrounds; many of our participants are offenders, ex-offenders, long-term unemployed, have mental health issues, are lone parents or are from ethnic minority backgrounds.
What we offer
- A three day self-employment workshop programme
- Fully trained business advisors give one to one phone, email and video conferencing support via Teams or Zoom, to enable participants to put together a realistic business plan and give them all the confidence needed to start their business
- Case manager confidence building and organisational support, to keep participants on track throughout the programme
- An augmented reality business start-up workbook which gives access to training, information and support videos
- Essential business templates, a weekly timetable template, a business checklist with the top 10 tips for setting up a business and an action planning support journal
- Funding access via the government Start-Up Loan Scheme or Fredericks Foundation (only for social enterprises) can be accessed if appropriate.
This remote self-employment programme is already being delivered across the UK in conjunction with the Work and Health Programme and is the first of its kind. In the current climate, this programme will deliver the best quality self-employment support to your participants, at the highest level at great value.
