Startup Support for Young People

For those aged 18 to 30 who have a business idea or some ideas to explore.

04 GrowthCatalyst (3)

If you’re 18 to 30, living in the UK and unemployed, or working fewer than 16 hours a week, and have a business idea or some ideas to explore, the King’s Trust Enterprise Programme could be for you.

You can commit to taking part in workshops and monthly one-to-one meetings with our team, alongside independent work on your business plan. Workshops and meetings typically take place between 9 am and 5 pm, Monday to Friday.

On average, young people on the Enterprise Programme spend one day each month taking part in workshops, but this will vary depending on your goals and circumstances.

The Trust has a pool of committed volunteer mentors. When you have launched your business and become a Trust-supported business, we aim to match you with a mentor who has the expertise, business skills and experience to help your business. All mentors are trained in business principles and will be able to support you in a variety of ways.

You may be eligible for a Test My Business Idea grant of up to £500 and Start Up Grant of up to £5,000.

Delivered by King's Trust.

Helping Lancashire businesses thrive

I wish I found Boost earlier. The areas of my own knowledge have been expanded giving me ideas that I had never thought about. I am really grateful for the support I have had so far from Boost.
