Inspiring Enterprise

"Nobody told me setting up in business could be so lonely." Nikki, Young Entrepreneur of the year nominee.

It doesn't have to be! We have brought together elements of the Butterfly Programme with a tried and tested enterprise model to combine the practical elements of setting up a business, ie a business plan with the more personal stuff, like building confidence, creating networks, thinking positively and achieving success.

The programme is ran in small groups so you benefit from the experiences of people in similar and very different situations.

The programme is suitable for those with a glimmer of an idea or those in pre start stages. The programme has been delivered to women returners, those planning early retirement and young entrepreneurs, setting up businesses while they are still at school.

Butterfly has transformed both my personal and professional life. It has to keep going. I would like to think one day, I could help facilitate something like Butterfly, give something back. - Liz, Durham.
