Enterprise Advance takes the support we can offer even further – it’s a flexible, broad-ranging programme that will help young entrepreneurs to go on and grow their businesses in those crucial early years after launching.”

Enterprise Advance is being funded through LDC’s multi-million-pound partnership with The Prince’s Trust and has been created with the support of an advisory board consisting of LDC’s employees over the last 12 months. It will launch in the Midlands before being rolled out across the UK over the coming months.

LDC is the leading supporter of The Prince’s Trust Enterprise programme and its partnership is designed to inspire the next generation of UK entrepreneurs. It has contributed towards a more diverse group of future business leaders, as a quarter of the young entrepreneurs supported to-date are from ethnic minority backgrounds and more than half are female.
