Starting a business is a daunting affair: there are so many different aspects to consider that it can be difficult to know where to start. This course has given me vital advice for free and has set me off on the right path. Now I am no longer concerned  about making a wrong move that could set me back financially and I am raring to go. Thank you!

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.
