Startup School for Seniors - Take an Idea and Turn it into an Income.

Are you considering starting up a business in 2025? Have you got an idea rolling around in your head for ages but don't know where to start? Startup School for Seniors, the award-winning course, can help!

Join our part-time eight week online programme, starting on 1st May, and learn how to identify and find customers, write a business plan on one single page, and sort out the legal so you don't run the risk of being shut down.

The programme is entirely online, and we have funding to pay for your place if you're unemployed and over 50, living in most parts of the UK.

You'll receive 1:2:1 mentoring, meet others in a similar position on the daily Zoom call and have access to the video/text-based lessons for a year.

Plus, we make it fun!
