Testimonial by: BW, Prospero Theatre

An excellent grounding in the many areas needed to start up a business. The course was very well put together, and delivered by John with humour and great understanding of our needs.

How Selection Works?

We’re looking for applicants who are motivated, have early traction, understand their market, and can commit to the full programme. We also aim for a cohort reflecting Croydon’s diversity and community impact.

  1. Application review: Eligible applicants are scored 1–5 on six weighted areas: 
    • Readiness & commitment  
    • Business traction
    • Growth potential  
    • Market understanding  
    • Feasibility to participate 
    • Local impact & inclusion 
  2. Interviews: Short conversations assessing clarity of growth vision, openness to learning, commitment, and fit with the group.
  3. Final selection: Application (60 %) + Interview (40 %) = overall score.
