  Only one week to go before the Business Ideas competition closes. The Business Ideas Competition gives you the chance to win prizes for submitting a business idea. Once you have entered, you will be provided with the help and advice you need to turn it into a real, profitable venture. All you need to enter is an idea. The application should only take 30 minutes to complete. Your idea could be for a new business, a new product, a way of making the world a better place, a new invention, anything! You do not need a business plan, financial projections, or even a set team of people. All we want is to find a winning idea that has the potential to become a workable, profitable venture.
