Make £5 Grow!!!!

This half term we were really lucky... we were asked to be part of the Virgin Money 'Make £5 Grow' Enterprise project. We were each given a £5 loan by Virgin Money, using this loan we had to make our own businesses, the aim being to make a profit at the end.

Throughout the half term we have developed our business skills, looking at costs, profits, leadership and creativity. We had to think carefully about the individual skills of each member of our team, making sure everyone was given the correct role.

Once we had decided on our business ideas, we had to work out suppliers, costs, merchandising, advertising and promotions. It's been an amazing experience, some of us now want to start our own businesses when we grow up!

We launched our businesses at the school fair.. with every team making a profit!!! Richard Branson would be proud :)
