Enterprise Nation launches small business support for the over 50s

Business news

As you may have noticed, we are picking up the support for Britain's older entrepreneurs after the decision by the Prince of Wales' charity Prime to hack back its practical assistance.

Fiftyplus

 offering extends Enterprise Nation's established national and regional acceleration programme to create bespoke events, online support and guides aimed at start-ups and growing businesses in the booming mature entrepreneurial community.

Our founder Emma Jones said: "It seems odd that, at a time when entrepreneurship in this age group is booming, combined with the introduction of new flexible pension regulations that allow people to invest their pension pots into their future, the targeted support has been pared right back.

"This age group has the skills and experience to make a difference to their lives in a really positive way.

"Enterprise 50+ plugs the hole in the market, offering specific advice to guide the over 50s looking to start or grow a business."

Prime announced its functions were to be absorbed by the Prince's not-for-profit responsible business pressure group Business in the Community last year where it would become one of its many campaigns.

Enterprise Nation's first announced events are full-day workshops in London and Birmingham in August aimed at anyone aged over 50 wanting to become their own boss. You can book a ticket below.

We will soon announce further support including more workshops, online tools and funding.

Hi Everyone!
I&apos;m Toni and I&apos;m a Fractional CMO - which means I work part-time for lots of exciting startups helping them build and deliver great marketing and grow their businesses.
Businesses need experienced marketing strategists, but for those who don&apos;t have the budget or need full-time hires, this is where I step in. With a fractional CMO, you get all the benefits of a senior marketing professional with flexibility.
I want to help you be successful!
I want to change the statistics. For many companies, their marketing isn’t helping them build their businesses. You shouldn&apos;t have to settle for boring, ineffective value propositions or strategies that do nothing to entice customers. It’s making sales harder than they need to be or even impossible.
Instead, I leverage proven methodologies to figure out what your customer really cares about, connect the dots between your solution and their problem and then find ways to make sure that they discover you and then fall in love with you.
Check me out at dot-connectors.com and set up a free review of your marketing. I&apos;ve had the opportunity to hold senior marketing positions at many well-known organisations such as Apple and Microsoft and been the first marketing hire with several startups blazing their trails and look forward to helping you grow and scale!

Marketing: Connecting the Dots with Coaching and Consultancy mix

As a founder or entrepreneur understanding what you need can be really confusing with all the conflicting advice. Or even being the single marketing person on the team can be isolating. 

Having someone you can connect with to bounce ideas off, discuss direction and clarify plans can make all the difference. Or just having an extra strategic pair of hands available when you need it.

Starting at £550 per month.
