Calling all budding entrepreneurs to our local Dragons Den style event.

Nottinghamshire Community Foundation have organised another Dragons Den style event which is being hosted by Nottingham University. If you have a business idea and want to apply for a small grant to help you on the road to success, then please apply to the den which opens today. Applicants are given the opportunity to pitch to a panel of successful local business leaders who decide on which businesses will receive a grant of up to £3,000. Many also offer their advice and support for free. If you have an exciting idea and can provide a viable business plan please apply to The Dragon Den – www.nottscf.org.uk/grant/dragons-den-2023

The closing date for applications is August 21 st and the Den is on September 26th Nina Dauban, Chief Executive of Nottinghamshire Community Foundation, “We are pleased to announce this our 12 th den and delighted it is being hosting by Nottingham University. Previous Dens have shown us that applicants get so much more than the grant. Past winners have been given free premises, new websites and IT support, new machinery, free marketing and even investment from the Dragons. That’s why our Dragons are Angels really”.
