Casting is to begin soon at the Hub TV studios to select 12 lucky candidates who will have the opportunity to take their business idea to market in a way that most budding would-be entrepreneurs could only dream of.

To enter you must be in one of the following sectors, clothes, health and beauty, gifts, toys, home, electronics, and gardening. That's quite a list.

The chosen 12 stand to gain substantial funding to launch their idea, be mentored by a relevant global industry leader in their market and be given support from concept to launch and beyond. There is also the chance of winning a prize of a further £20,000 to grow their business.

“It initially will mean a phone call followed by a Skype video interview and then a face to face interview. We want to get an idea of what business they plan to set up and what they are like as people, as individuals. We are looking for ambitious start up entrepreneurs with great idea, but being held back from launching due to finances. Really, it should be a business with online retail at its heart in one of our defined sectors,” said David Hunstone, Director of Hub TV.

Applicants must contact Hub TV before the closing deadline of 30 September 2016. 

Applicants must be in retail and be hungry for success.
