Creating A Business That Works Around Your Priorities.

You are not alone. Nearly 10% of teachers are leaving the profession each year. That equates 43,500 people last year alone. Many ex teachers will think about going into business but only a few will take the plunge when they leave their job. We know that teachers make great business owners and with the right support can be very successful.

You may be aware that every year millions of new businesses are started, and yet only around 5% of them will still be operating after five years.
