I started my first business when I was 24 and grew it over a number of years to a large team with offices in two cities. I can now say that I have started businesses on two contents.  I have helped other businesses reach global markets. I am pleased to be part of the Orange www.winyourbusiness.com competition, to support entrepreneurship. It is only for people in the UK – sorry to my international readers.

Starting out is hard especially in a recession. It takes more than an idea, you have to take a chance and see where it takes you. It takes hard work and perseverance. This is a chance to enter a competition to have all the support you need to get started. I am sure that just by winning and getting the publicity around that your company would stand a good chance at succeeding.

If you’ve got a fresh idea, why not tell Orange all about it and you could win a year’s backing and support to make it happen! You can win money but Orange are going to making sure you have the support, advice and investment to get you on the road to success and change your life forever. The prize is worth up to £200,000 and includes not just investment capital, but legal advice, business planning advice, mentoring, and marketing consultancy.

Do you know someone with a business idea? Pass the message onto your friends. Everyone who has a different idea and the vision and drive to make it happen is eligible!
