I need a company or individual/group to work with in order to put new business ideas to market

Question

I am 24, and have several ideas and concepts that I simply cannot do anything with because I have very few contacts that can assist in making them tangible, marketable models.

I need to find a firm or group of people that are prepared to consider working with me for a share of the business(es).

It isn't so much finance (although as a student, I have none), but business contacts and knowledge I need!

I am well aware of business angels, but see this avenue as a second option, as they mostly offer just financial backing.

Any ideas guys?

Answer 1

Hi there,

I was in a similiar situation last year, I had a business idea and needed the skills and resources you talk about to pull it all together. I contacted the business enterprise scheme, which is a government run FREE business advice and support. My business advisor helped me with a business plan gave me endless information and help, brilliant.www.businesslink.gov.uk

I have now a succesful small business with plans to expand and start something else. I cannot recommend the service that I got highly enough, good luck..
