Supporting entrepreneurs has long been a key focus for Ernst & Young.

Building on our world-class Entrepreneur Of The Year programme, we're expanding our knowledge and pledging our support to the UK's young business leaders and social entrepreneurs with a new programme of free business workshops. The scheme – called Accelerate (1.9Mb, December 2011) – will also form part of the Government’s ‘Business in You’ campaign, which has been launched today to encourage the start up and growth of SMEs.

Ernst & Young provide a range of thought leadership, activities and events to support you throughout your entrepreneurial journey.
