Sponsorship

We estimate that the costs of the challenge, including entry fees, boat acquisition (less resale value), transportation, equipment, food and training will be in the region of £100,000. In addition, we plan to raise at least £150,000 for charity from our accredited business sponsors. This means a total sponsorship raise of a minimum of £250,000.

The above excludes the charity fundraising from the general public which will commence in early 2021, boosting the amount raised for charity by a further £100,000 (to a minimum total target of £250,000) and, hopefully, much, much more.

Sponsors will be businesses (or perhaps individuals) who are engaged with and are supportive of entrepreneurs and entrepreneurship. We have already reached an agreement with a leading crowdfunding platform who will support our fundraising from the investor community. Other sponsors are likely to include, for example, a challenger bank, an accountancy firm, a law firm, an accounting software provider, CRM and other tech suppliers etc.
