10,000 SMALL BUSINESSES

The 10,000 Small Businesses programme enables SMEs to achieve their growth potential.

Currently recruiting for Autumn 2012  please register your interest.

Programme Overview

10,000 Small Businesses is for leaders of established small businesses and social enterprises, who will benefit from targeted support and resources to help them define and achieve their business growth aspirations.

10,000 Small Businesses is designed to unlock the economic and job creation potential of small businesses and social enterprises operating in the United Kingdom.

 The programme is based on the broadly held view of leading experts that greater access to a combination of education and business support services best addresses barriers to growth.

10,000 Small Businesses is targeted at small businesses and social enterprises with clear ambitions to expand. The goal of the programme is to provide participants with tools and resources to help them lay the foundation for long-term sustainable growth and job creation in their communities.

10,000 Small Businesses is funded by the Goldman Sachs Foundation.

Participants will receive approx 100 hours of high quality, practically-focused business and management curriculum which is delivered over 12 sessions at Leeds.

To supplement the classroom learning, 10,000 Small Businesses provide a range of business support services to participants.
