Empowering young entrepreneurs in Poland, France and the UK with the right financial knowledge to strengthen growing businesses.
Overview
For many young entrepreneurs, limited financial skills and knowledge can become a barrier to business growth. Youth Business International (YBI) is collaborating with proud sponsor Visa to offer in-depth financial literacy training to young entrepreneurs in Europe, including TERN alumni, empowering young business owners to understand the numbers that matter and move away from a reactive approach so they can grow their business with confidence. The course will commence in May 2026.
Who is the training for?
This training is for young entrepreneurs aged 18-35 based in Poland, France, or the UK whose business is currently in the growth stage.
If you are looking for the financial know-how to keep scaling your business through practical guidance and a clear framework, this training is for you.
What will you learn?
This programme helps entrepreneurs move from reactive fundraising to a clear, structured financing strategy that supports their growth goals. It’s made up of four modules:
1. Define Your Growth Vision (estimated learning time: 45 minutes)
Clarify where you want your business to be in 18–24 months and set key milestones to guide funding decisions.
2. Choose the Right Capital (estimated learning time: 60 minutes)
Understand different funding options and identify the types that best fit your business model, cash flow, and ambitions.
3. Identify Your Funding Gap (estimated learning time: 120 minutes)
Calculate how much funding you need, when you need it, and what it’s for — based on solid financial projections.
4. Build a Smart Financing Plan (estimated learning time: 45 minutes)
Combine different funding sources in a strategic way to reduce risk, manage costs, and support sustainable growth.
Outcome:
A clear, milestone-linked financing strategy with the right capital, at the right time, for the right purpose.
