About Enterprise UK

Enterprise UK is a charity which aims to give people the confidence and ambition to be enterprising.

It is founded as a campaigning organisation in 2004 by the British Chamber of Commerce, the Confederation of British Industry, the Institute of Directors and the Federation of Small Businesses. Back then the name was Enterprise Insight.
