A social enterprise focussed on developing marginalised founders through research, policy change and practical support

Backing founders when geography, circumstance or poverty leaves them behind.

businesswithoutboundaries is a social enterprise providing opportunities for founders who find themselves disadvantaged through circumstance, location or poverty — developing them through research, policy change and practical support.

Where we are right now

businesswithoutboundaries is defining what disadvantage in small business really looks like – shaped by where someone lives, their circumstances, or a lack of financial means.

Our four pillars

Research

Understanding the barriers facing small businesses and founders.

Influence

Turning what we learn into practical recommendations – and the events and public conversations – that help policymakers and programmes act on it at scale.

Support

Direct, practical support for founders through a global volunteer network with initiatives based on solid research.

Partners

Building relationships with the organisations and networks whose backing will make that support possible. We’re starting those conversations early, alongside the research.

Get involved early

Founder, researcher or just curious? We’d love to hear from you as we continue to shape this from the ground up.
