As a franchisor as well as a
web solutions provider,
Busby is very passionate about providing individuals with the opportunity to operate their own business and in doing so, assisting them to unlock their true potential. However for many the goal of owning their own business is unreachable for varying reasons. Busby recognises this and has decided to provide an opportunity to individuals through the creation of ESP, an
Entrepreneur Scholarship Program, which gives one person each year the opportunity of a free Busby Web Solutions Franchise.
The ESP was launched in January 2008 and will be run annually with the first winner being selected in October 2008. Under the program, Busby franchisees, licensees and staff will scout for entrepreneurial talent globally and will nominate individuals. Individuals are also invited to submit an application direct. All applicants will be screened and reviewed and from that a group of 6 finalists will be interviewed by a panel who will award the winner the opportunity of a free
Busby Web Solutions franchise. The scholarship includes full training and ongoing support by Busby's team of professional executives with the aim of assisting the winner in establishing their own successful web solutions business. The
education and training they receive includes:
- Pre training to bring the winner up to speed with web solutions
- One week of onsite training in either London(UK) or Perth(Australia)
- Full ongoing support in running their own business including access to a 10 Chapter, 325 page operations manual and training on the systems and processes that go to making a successful web solutions business
The training will enable them to operate a successful web solutions business while providing them with very beneficial lifelong skills.
ESP seeks to attract talented, motivated and passionate young adults who are determined to succeed and have a strong interest in the dynamic and growing field of the Internet. Busby's ESP will encourage young entrepreneurs to become future business and community leaders and by encouraging financial independence we hope to give opportunities to individuals who otherwise may not have been given a chance.
We encourage people to take advantage of this opportunity - please download an application form and pass this on to any budding entrepreneurs you know.
