The Prince's Trust Explore Enterprise Course consists of up to 7 online sessions. These include information and support on the basics of self-employment, HMRC and finance, pricing and sales, marketing, networking, cashflows, and business plans.

When you first contact the Trust, you'll be paired with a caseworker who will get to know you and your business idea through some initial induction meetings. You'll need to complete some documents to get set up on the system, then you can get booked onto the online sessions.

The caseworker will continue to provide support throughout your journey and will help to create a plan of action for you and your business.

You are eligible for the Explore Enterprise Course if you:

• are 18 to 30 years old
• live in Scotland
• have the right to work in the UK
• have been trading for less than 2 years

This course is free.

Anyone between the ages of 18 and 30 who lives in Scotland, has the right to work in the UK and has a new business or a business idea.

Participants must be available to attend 3-hour sessions that start at either 10am or 1pm, Monday to Thursday. However, you and your caseworker will look at the upcoming session schedule and make a plan that suits your needs and personal commitments.

You and your caseworker will arrange meetings to check in and discuss any questions or queries you have about your application. You and your caseworker can decide on the frequency and scheduling of your check-in meetings. These can be scheduled between the hours of 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday.
