Young entrepreneurs

Many of today's best-known entrepreneurs started their business when they were very young. For example Bill Gates, Richard Branson, and Frank and Dan Carney who started Pizza Hut all started out young.

Starting your own business can be both financially rewarding and hugely satisfying. If you are aged 30 or under, you can benefit from a range of support especially developed for young entrepreneurs.
