Manchester Enterprise Center Venture Further
May 08, 2024
Venture Further is a business start-up competition, not a business plan competition. You do not need to have entered Venture Out to be able to enter Venture Further. We are looking for proposals for new business ideas that have the greatest potential to succeed, not for the best-formatted business plan. This means that a credible implementation plan is as important as evidencing and validating a real opportunity. Entries should also demonstrate a real intent and desire to take the business forward.
