Rockstar Youth is urging Lancashire entrepreneurs aged 18 to 30 to apply for a share in a £112m start-up fund and free business support to start and grow their business.

The next session for applicants takes place on 23rd February at the University of Central Lancashire, Harrington Building, Adelphi Street, Preston. To apply go to www.Rockstaryouth.co.uk

Rockstar Youth offers an unsecured loan of up to £10,000 and business mentoring for young people aged between 18 and 30 who have a viable business idea.

David Cameron has called the scheme 'absolutely vital for the future of our country', tackling youth unemployment, facilitating enterprise across the UK and stimulating growth.

Its 'no rejection policy' means that unsuccessful applications will receive recommendations for changes in order to re-apply and just 14 days after the incubator successful applicants can receive up to a £10,000 capital injection.
