As a disabled entrepreneur myself, I understand the right support at the right time can make all the difference and that’s why I set up The Circle Foundation. Helping the Few to Inspire the Many
The Circle Foundation concept is simple. Each year, we accept one budding entrepreneur onto our programme, providing up to £50,000 of cash and in-kind business assistance over the course of one year. The
programme includes full personal support from myself and the Circle Team – a dynamic pool of business, web development, finance, and creative professionals – all dedicated to helping our entrepreneur realise their potential. Commonly, business support is diluted to reach as many people as possible, and many startups can fail to thrive as a result. The Circle Foundation takes a different approach – we wrap around one entrepreneur with a fully comprehensive programme to support them through the challenges that disabled people typically face, towards a positive outcome. Our belief is that each disabled entrepreneur we help can share their story of success, and be a true source of inspiration to others who wish to make that same remarkable journey. Who can Apply
To apply for this programme, you must:
- Be registered disabled and live in The East Midlands.
- Have a business idea and a rough outline for the purpose of the application process
- Be ready to commit all your time and energy to your business concept. Simply contact us by filling in the form on our website, let us know of any communication support needs you may have and preferred formats for information. We will then be in touch to discuss your idea further.
