Start-up opportunities for young entrepreneurs

Posted by Lynne Lumsden on March 1, 2021 at 3:54pm in Aberdeen Business

At Business Gateway, we have been working alongside Aberdeen City Council to develope the ABZWorks Seed Fund. It's a £100,000 fund designed to support budding entrepreneurs under the age of 25.

The ABZWorks Seed Fund is open to city residents aged 16-24 who are not in education, employment or training. Application must be done via the Aberdeen Business Gateway office and you will need to have completed a Business Plan and Financial Forecast.

To find out more, please visit https://bit.ly/3kwrsEz

I'm happy to chat to anyone who would like more information on the fund.

Have a good week!

Lynne

Wow! What a cool idea. Wish I was the right age for it! :-( Good luck to whoever benefits from it.

Sounds fantastic, just wish I wasn't already WAY past the cut-off age. I could really do with some investment into the business. I will pass onto anyone that fits the criteria.

Thanks

A great opportunity for young budding entrepreneurs.

If anyone needs help developing a Financial Forecast and Business Plan I will assist free of charge, or for a small donation to Alzheimer Scotland.
