This FREE Business Start-up Programme is available to Lewes based residents. The Programme, called LEAP, is fully funded by Lewes District Council and ERDF under the Chichester University’s HotHouse initiative.
LEAP is an intensive business support programme that offers a £2500 prize in the form of a grant.
The LEAP Programme is split into the 3 stages
Stage 1 – attendance at a one-day business start-up workshop in Jan. There are spaces for up to 20 candidates on each workshop.
After the workshops have been held, 30 out of the 60 candidates are selected to move to stage 2.
The remaining 30 candidates are offered additional business advice and support under another mentoring programme.
Stage 2 – the 30 selected candidates will be allocated a dedicated business mentor who will work with them to produce a business plan. During this period (and to help them complete the plan) they will also attend 2×3 hour workshops on Finance and Marketing. The business plans are submitted and judged when 5 finalists will be selected. The finalists will then present their plan to the judges at a mini Dragons Den type event where a winner will be chosen. The winner will be announced at an awards event where they will win a cash prize of £2500 and the award – “LEAP Entrepreneur of the Year”.
Stage 3 – Additional mentoring support is offered to help candidates launch their business.
You MUST register for the LEAP Programme prior to booking the one day start up workshop. To register please visit edealgroup.org or call 01323 641144 for more information.
