January is a time when many of us will naturally be thinking about various hopes and intentions for the year ahead. But what if your ambition is to launch your own business?

Starting a side hustle during a cost-of-living crisis isn’t for the faint of heart. After all, in the UK one in five new businesses fold in their first year, and over half of start-ups don’t make it past five years. But that doesn't mean it's impossible.

Join our host, Philippa Lamb, and three fearless entrepreneurs as they discuss real-world tactics for bootstrapping your dream business. This month we hear from:

  • Founder and CEO of Vestpod, Emilie Bellet;
  • Founder and CEO of Sprive, Jinesh Vohra; and
  • CCO at PensionBee, but also Founder of childrenswear business Little Circle, Lisa Picardo.
