Summary

Start-Up Britain is a series of web based tools and guidance (all in one place) to help business to start and grow. There are a number of corporate sponsors who make offers to new and growing businesses such as free business cards, discount business phone lines and discounts insurance.

The website is currently planning to launch some new features to make the portal a living market place for the wide range of enterprise support that is already available. The aim is not to replace current provision, but to give it a higher profile, and complement existing provision with further offers of support.

Start Up Britain began with 2 platform services: a catalogue of links to great web resources, and a series of offers from their corporate supporters. Their ideas for extending this free-market, open-source approach to the provision of enterprise support and promotion include:

• MentorMarketplace: Find or become a mentor
• Masterclass Platform: Deliver or sign up for a masterclass near you
• Pledge matchmaker: Step up to invest your resources in other organisations’ enterprise initiatives
• Best of the web: a database of StartUp content, apps, videos and case studies curated from the web
• A calendar of enterprise related events, into which you can suggest your own event, or just keep up to date with what’s going on.
