Over 50's Support
• helping overcome personal barriers and limits to success for the over 50’s •
• provides complete and practical start-up business advice •
• offers ongoing contact and support •
Specialised start-up business support for the over 50’s
Our experience of working with the over 50’s has shown that they have the experience, life skills and knowledge which is perfect for self-employment. Mainstream business support does not recognise the value of the over 50’s to enterprise. Our programme is tailored to help this client group overcome the unique barriers they face. At Enterprise Exchange we are very aware that many over 50’s 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 some even thinking about starting a business.
What we offer
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.
