Tycoon in Schools Deadline 30 September 2016 Budding entrepreneurs aged 5 to 18 are invited to participate in ‘Tycoon in Schools’, an exciting enterprise challenge from the Peter Jones Foundation.

Entrants then have a seven-week trading period in which they need to generate as much pro t as possible. Shortlisted teams will be invited to an awards ceremony in London in March 2017, where the winner will be announced. All loans must be repaid, but the winning team will receive £1,000 to assist in making their business sustainable.
