Thinking about starting a business but worried about the costs involved?

If you are aged 16-30 you can be part of the Young Traders Market Programme.

Markets for young traders are being held all over the country, there’s an opportunity near you to test out your business idea. The costs and risks are low, but the rewards could be high, and it could be the start of a new business adventure!

The  Young Traders Market programme involves a series of local and regional heats culminating in a national final.  It’s a great environment to test your product, adapt your display and a chance to sell to a wider audience. Best of all it’s a competition! There will be a local heat 22 June 2019, followed by a regional heat on 27 July 2019 – both in Newcastle at the top of Grainger Street, a great city centre location for showcasing your products.  

There are big prizes to be won for young traders who make it all the way.
