StartUp Britain is a national campaign by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs, harnessing the expertise and passion of Britain’s leading business people to celebrate, inspire and accelerate enterprise in the UK.
The campaign was founded by eight entrepreneurs and launched on 28th March 2011 by the Prime Minister, with the full support of the Chancellor and HM Government, although it is completely funded by private-sector sponsors.
Start-up Britain is passionate about promoting entrepreneurship and its benefits to our economy. This is done by highlighting the myriad of support that is available to those who wish to start or grow a business, galvanising support where there is demand and by acting as a voice for small businesses to Government.
This is a response from the private sector to the Government’s call for an ‘enterprise-led’ recovery. Start-up Britain aims to engage with over 1 million people in the next three years to take them one step closer to starting or growing a business. Further information can be found here.
