What is the Enterprise Business Challenge?

Supported by the small business e-commerce company Alibaba.com, The Enterprise Business Challenge provides small businesses and budding entrepreneurs the chance to win a £10k cash injection into their business or idea as well as ten hours of Legal, Accountancy, International Trading Advice, PR and HR support from leading companies.

"The Enterprise Business Challenge is a competition I have set up for entrepreneurs who need a helping hand with their business and some capital to get started. Now, more than ever, we need to encourage and work alongside Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) and entrepreneurs to stimulate economic growth and to make sure that great business opportunities are not missed. I am constantly looking for interesting and innovative investments, and have no doubt that The Enterprise Business Challenge will uncover some remarkable ideas and businesses. We are excited about the potential the Challenge offers to create new links between Britain's rising entrepreneurs and our National Enterprise Academy students - the entrepreneurs of the future."
Peter Jones CBE, Entrepreneur
