From The Prince’s Trust to The King’s Trust: How It Helped Us Launch Elgar Heating
Starting a business is never easy, but having the right support can make all the difference. At Elgar Heating, we wouldn’t be where we are today without the backing of what was once The Prince’s Trust – now known as The King’s Trust. Their guidance, funding, and mentorship helped turn our vision into a thriving business, and we want to share how this incredible organisation continues to support entrepreneurs across the UK.
What Is The King’s Trust?
Founded in 1976 by King Charles III (formerly Prince Charles), The King’s Trust (formerly The Prince’s Trust) is a charity dedicated to helping young people unlock their potential. It provides training, mentoring, and financial support for those looking to start a business or develop skills for employment. Over the years, it has supported thousands of individuals, including us at Elgar Heating.
How The Trust Helped Us Get Started
When we decided to launch Elgar Heating, we knew we had the skills and passion for plumbing and heating, but setting up a business required more than just technical expertise. The Trust provided us with invaluable resources, including:
Business Mentorship – Expert advice on structuring and running a successful business.
Funding Support – Access to a start-up loan that helped with essential equipment and initial costs.
Workshops & Training – Practical sessions on finance, marketing, and customer service, ensuring we had the knowledge to grow sustainably.
With their support, we were able to take our first steps with confidence, knowing we had a strong foundation for success.
Why Support from The King’s Trust Matters
For many young entrepreneurs, taking the leap into business ownership can be daunting. The King’s Trust offers a safety net, ensuring that passion and talent don’t go to waste due to financial or knowledge barriers. It’s not just about funding – the mentoring and training provide long-term benefits that help businesses thrive.
