Layer’s Treats

After leaving sixth-form college, I initially planned to study business at the University of Durham but decided to defer my place. I struggle with dyslexia so decided the classroom environment was not my style of learning. During this time, I discovered my love for chocolate making which soon became a full-time business.

Navigating growing a business and accessing finance as a young entrepreneur can be challenging but the British Business Bank made the process simple, helping myself and the business achieve what it has so far. Without the personalised support I received during the application process, I probably wouldn’t have completed the application. I am proud of what Layers Treats has achieved so far and look forward to growing the business further and achieving even more success as a young entrepreneur.
