Small Business Charter

Bournemouth University Business School has been awarded the Small Business Charter Award, which recognises the Business School’s outstanding contribution to supporting small businesses, student entrepreneurship, and the local economy.

In order to achieve the Small Business Charter award, business schools undergo a rigorous assessment to determine the effectiveness of their business support, entrepreneurship education, and engagement with their local economy.
