Welcome to Enterprise Exchange
At Enterprise Exchange we specialise in helping people with additional barriers become self-employed or start a business to transform their lives. Not only do we provide business support, but we help build the confidence and self-esteem of our clients which is essential for them to flourish. Our business coaches and mentors understand the barriers that our clients face and we use tried and tested techniques to help them overcome the many inner challenges they can come up against.
We are aware that mainstream business support is either too expensive or not fit for purpose for our client group and so we work with selected organisations and partners to provide and facilitate the training and support required to help individuals empower their lives. We work through our partners to support offenders, ex-offenders, long term unemployed and others who have experienced barriers to starting their own business. We also run enterprise programmes for young people, have a dedicated women’s business adviser and a unique management development programme for corporate clients.

What our clients are saying

Self Employment Programme
"Enterprise Exchange opened my eyes to the possibility of setting up my own business, which I thought was impossible in my circumstances. They have been helpful in terms of knowledge, guidance and advice. They advised me as to the necessary things to do, with regards to business set up."

Management Development Programme
"The two days were awesome, I hope the entire Training Team here at Magna Park have a chance to experience it. I am "buzzing" and cant wait to get started. I think your presentation style was really good, you kept us all engaged over the two days and brought out the best in us from day one. I would like to thank you for providing us with this amazing opportunity."

Employment Advisor Training
"My personal view is that the role of Enterprise Exchange in prison is vital and a catalyst to an effective rehabilitation that some prisoners need. Your role also enthuses them not to be dependent on someone else to provide them employment on release."
