Social Incubator North launched

What’s the Racket?

This isn’t Dragon’s Den or The Apprentice. You don’t have to be Machiavellian to mean business.

Social Incubator North is a new way for entrepreneurs; where business has soul and success is more than just the bottom line.

It’s a unique opportunity to submit your business idea, whether you’re an established organisation with a new concept or a charismatic individual with a brilliant new idea. Successful applicants, will not only receive up to £25k investment but tailored one-to-one business support, and even access to business premises.

Northern Soul

What’s the catch? Your idea or business must have heart – making a lasting positive social or environmental impact. Whether it’s offering employment to at-risk or vulnerable members of your community, or delivering a service with Green credentials.

From Derby to the Borders, and everywhere in between - wherever you are in the northern half of England - our network ensures you get local support, on your doorstep.

With a track record in helping start-ups grow, our ambition is to turn 60 ideas into investment-ready reality.

Are you in?
