Now in its 11th year, this competition has successfully launched numerous small businesses, many of which have continued to thrive.
Originally envisioned by Kwasi Kwarteng MP, who led the event for a decade until his retirement from politics last year, the responsibility for this fantastic initiative has now been entrusted to the dedicated team at the SBF.
We are eager to see this year’s entries and look forward to collaborating with finalists as we help refine their ideas for presentation at the Dragons’ Den Final hosted by BP in Sunbury.
The competition will open for submissions on February 17, 2025, with a deadline set for April 14, 2025. The Dragons’ Den final will take place on June 27, where one talented entrepreneur will win £4,000 in prize money to support their business launch.
This competition relies heavily on support from our local business community. We invite local businesses to participate this year and consider becoming sponsors.
