Help Starting Your Hand-making Business

If you're 18-30 years old and unemployed or working less than 16 hours a week, you could get help starting your hand-making business from the Prince's Trust.

I've just finished the training to become a Prince's Trust Business Mentor. I'll be supporting people starting businesses within the Trust's Business Programme. One-to-one mentorship is just one of the benefits of this scheme, which also extends loans to individuals most High Street banks would turn away.

The success rate of businesses started under the scheme is significantly higher than the average for all start-ups. Find out whether you qualify here: Prince's Trust Business Programme
