Why should I take part in the Leap Programme?
It’s no secret that starting a business is hard work. There are really high failure rates - in fact, 70-80% of businesses don’t make it to their 3rd year. Thankfully, with the Leap Programme, you’ll have access to the tools you need to quickly identify whether your idea is going to be successful or not.
