Individuals

Be your own boss, bring your business ideas to life and develop your start-up with our enterprise support. Join the more than 100,000 people we’ve helped to set up and grow a business. We’re on hand to support you through this journey – whatever stage you’re at. People’s lifestyles are changing. Self-employment is flexible around health or childcare needs and with the job market shifting towards more consultants, contractors and gig-economy workers, we want to support this change. We offer tailored advice, guidance and support to bring your start-up to life and help it to flourish. From hairdressers to architects and coffee shops to gyms, the opportunities are endless. We appreciate that being self-employed, whether already in business or during the planning and start-up stages, your time may be limited. Our online learning platform, LearningPlus is a remote self-directed learning platform. Through LearningPlus we can help you to learn, make progress and do this at a time that suits you and your current lifestyle.
