PRIME has published “Encouraging older entrepreneurship” a report on how best to help older people starting or running their own businesses. It looks into the support needs of those entering self-employment after the age of 50, and at what PRIME and its partners can realistically do to help.
The study coincides with an unusual period of turmoil in the business support sector. Major changes in how support is funded and who provides it have unintentionally created new difficulties to individuals seeking to start their own businesses.
The production of this report, written in-house by PRIME, has been partially-funded by the Equal Diversity in Practice project, which is in turn paid for from the European Social Fund.
