The chance to win £6,000 towards launching a business will be on offer at an entrepreneurial course in High Wycombe starting from April.

For the second year running housing company Red Kite will give budding entrepreneurs advice on how to turn their ideas in to reality including how to raise the finances to get started and how to manage the risks.

At the end of the course, visitors will get the opportunity to pitch their business ideas to a panel of judges and will win £6,000 if they manage to impress.

The workshops are free of charge and will be split up in to 12 sessions taking place every Tuesday from April 19.

A taster session will take place before the course begins on Tuesday, April 12 from 10am to 12pm at the Red Kite offices on Windsor Court, High Wycombe.
