Support for Young Enterprise

Are you 16 to 24 years old? Our support for Young Enterprise will give you all the support and skills needed to get your business off the ground. The Young Enterprise Guide project is funded by and delivered in Partnership with The City of Edinburgh Council.

• Do you have an idea for a new business venture?
• Do you love the idea of being your own boss?
• Do you have the passion and commitment to the cause?
• Do you have a brain full of business ideas you think will work?
• Are you the next Richard Branson?

If you think you have what it takes to run your own business or would like to explore the idea of self employment we would like to hear from you. We can give you all the support and skills needed to get your business off the ground - everything from developing your ideas, writing your business plan, developing a marketing plan, access to a test trading grant, signposting to other agencies and much more.

Starting a business is a legitimate career choice: gone are the days when you had to have years of business experience under your belt before you might even consider taking the plunge with a startup of your own.

Prince's Scottish Youth Business Trust

We also work closely with the Prince's Scottish Youth Business Trust (PSYBT), which helps 18 to 25-year olds (or up to 30-year olds with a disability) to start up and develop their own business.
