Business Link London and Colourful launch radio programme for entrepreneurs


Business Link London, the gateway to business support across the Capital, has teamed up with Colourful to provide a series of radio programmes to assist budding entrepreneurs.


The series, one of the first of its kind, will discuss the challenges that aspiring and existing entrepreneurs face through a combination of advice, live question and answer sessions and the latest business news and tips. There will also be special programmes dedicated to getting women and today’s youth to consider being their own boss and how they can make the most of the support and advice that is available to them.


Afsana Shukur, head of diversity and equality at Business Link London commented:  “We’ve identified a real need for people in the African Caribbean community to learn more about the support that is available to business owners and people thinking of starting their own business. These shows will be a fantastic opportunity to de-mystify some of the key elements of creating a thriving business and to hear from like-minded business experts and successful entrepreneurs who have made their business dreams come true.”


The series will include six weekly shows as follows:


  • Programme 1 - August 23rd 2007, 8.00pm: Women starting a business
  • Programme 2 – August 30th 2007, 8.00pm: Traditional financing
