Congratulations! You’ve taken the first step that most people never will. Whether you have a big idea to get off the ground, an existing business which is facing some new hurdles, or you’ve decided it’s finally time to be your own boss; you are now part of the self-employment revolution. Since the start of the millenium, the number of entrepreneurs, freelancers, contractors and self-starters has risen by more than 45%. Now, 15% of the working population are calling themselves boss. It gives them freedom, flexibility and unlimited financial potential. But it’s not an easy ride. Start and Grow Enterprise is here to help. So far, we’ve supported over 1,000 ambitious entrepreneurs to start businesses, solidify plans, and take their companies from budding to booming.
