Start Up and Business Incubation

Student Enterprise 

Do you have an idea for a business? Do you like the idea of working for yourself?

At Student Enterprise, we’re passionate about supporting our students and graduates pursuing careers in self-employment and entrepreneurship. If you’re looking to go into freelancing or keen to start a business, we’re here to support you in any way we can.

Businesses are born from ideas. No matter how big or small, if you have an idea for a product or system to solve a common problem, this can be nurtured into an industry defining business.

Freelancing gives you the chance to pursue your passion, without being tied down to a single job. Having the freedom that freelancing brings means that you can work with who you like, where you like and when you like. It also offers you the chance to develop multiple sources of income from several clients.

Here at Student Enterprise, we’ve got everything you need to help grow your idea into a business.
