Dream of owning your own shop or cafe? Want to sell products you've made or sourced? Do you watch The Apprentice and think how much more profitable your business ideas are than those of Sir Sugar's candidates? If so, the Enterprise Development Hub is there for you.

 

Getting a business idea off the ground can seem tricky, but the EDH is there to help students do just that. Entrepreneurial spirit and ambition is all that's required; no matter how developed your plans are at present, the EDH aim is for you to leave Middlesex with a fully formed business plan and a clear idea of where you're headed.

 

The EDH offers workshops, one-to-one mentoring, networking opportunities, and seminars with successful and inspirational entrepreneurs. They also have various competitions throughout the year to help you secure financial backing for your ideas - and win prize money too!


Current opportunities include the Online Sales Competition. Submit your idea for an online business and you could win your share of £5000 funding, as well as support and advice to make your idea a reality. The competition winner will also receive an amazing £1000 cash prize! Deadline: 14th February 2015, 2pm. Click here for more information and to enter.

By pooling the resources and knowledge of the Business School's academics, the EDH gives would-be entrepreneurs the best chance of success in today's competitive marketplace. "More and more of our students will be running their own businesses or working for small companies in the future," explained business expert Dr. Simon Best. "We want to make them better entrepreneurs, better employees and better consumers. Our aim is to help students to start up and run businesses, helping them get from an idea to something which is sustainable."
