| 21 April 2009 YOUNG ENTREPRENEURS IN ADUR PRESENTATION EVENING  The Young Entrepreneurs in Adur project was set up by the Adur Economic Partnership with the aim of encouraging young people aged between 18 and 30 to apply for five awards of up to £3000. Those eligible were required to be already running a business in the Adur area and in need of cash to expand or those with a new business proposal. Applicants were required to submit business plans and those candidates selected took part in Dragons’ Den style presentations before a panel of assessors who themselves, were selected for their experience and expertise in the business community. The two successful candidates each awarded £3000 were Home Grown Café an established event caterer waiting to expand and The Noise Next Door an improvised comedy troupe facilitating corporate ‘away-days’ for local businesses. Mentors have been appointed to assist in the development of these two companies. Discussions are taking place on the timing of a future event – watch this website and the local press for further details. John Haffenden Chairman |
28th November 2008 The Adur Economic Partnership (AEP) is providing exciting grant opportunities for Young Entrepreneurs in the Adur area. IF YOU ARE BETWEEN 18 - 30 ALREADY RUNNING A BUSINESS AND WANTING TO EXPAND, OR HAVE A NEW BUSINESS PROPOSAL, THIS COULD BE A BRILLIANT OPPORTUNITY FOR YOU! Up to five £3000 cash grants will be awarded. This AEP project ‘Young Entrepeneurs in Adur’ will be run in a very similar way to that ‘well known BBC TV programme’. Candidates will need to provide structured business plans and details of their existing business and growth aspirations, or details of their new business ideas for consideration by a panel of assessors from the local business community. Once initial shortlisting has taken place, selected candidates will be asked to make their presentations to the panel. Those taken through will repeat their presentations before a live audience at the event final, during which the winners will be announced. The AEP will be appointing Business Mentors who will provide future support. Read More |
