Our expert knowledge has enabled us to deliver relevant products and consistently high-quality customer service in this increasingly competitive market - so much so that we are now the #1 rated company registration specialists in the UK.

But we want to do even more. That's why we decided to launch the Entrepreneur Scholarship Programme to support up-and-coming business leaders with their entrepreneurial endeavours. With an all-time record high of 6 million private sector businesses in the UK, 99% of which were small to medium sized, we recognise the importance of encouraging and facilitating business innovation and creativity.

Now in its 11th year, our Entrepreneur Scholarship Programme is open to all individuals who have received an offer from, or are currently undertaking undergraduate or postgraduate study at an officially-recognised higher learning institution in the UK or the US. The aim of the award is to assist with the financial costs of study, through which the acquisition and development of skills will potentially culminate in a successful enterprise.

Up to 5 scholarships of £500 ($700) will be awarded on a competitive basis to candidates who can clearly demonstrate academic excellence and/or entrepreneurial potential. The funding may be used for any purpose related to the advancement of study.
