Here at The Formations Company we’re passionate about British businesses – so much that we set up almost 30,000 of them last year. To show our support for big ideas all over the UK, we’re proud to present our small business startup grant, The Formations Company Entrepreneur Award! To apply, all you need is entrepreneurial flair, so there’s no reason not to get involved and share this page with friends and colleagues. Whether you’re a uni student with a big idea, a self-motivated mumpreneur, or a business-savvy individual from any other walk in life, we want to hear from you.

If you really impress us, you could be in with a chance to win our grand prize: a £1,000 business grant and your limited company set up for free! What’s more, we’ve partnered with Barclays to offer an incredible startup package that’ll help your company get off the ground. Find out more about what that involves over on our website.

So go ahead, tell us about your business idea below. If you need some inspiration, check out some of our video interviews for advice from entrepreneurs who’ve already set up businesses, or have a browse of our blog to get a sense of what it’s like to be a business owner yourself. The deadline for applications is 30th June 2017.
