The funding amount is 1,500. It’s not a large sum by any means but it’s perfect for advertising and maybe some equipment like paper, scanner and etcetera

I would encourage you to make sure you have a sound business case before borrowing the money. Paper is less and less important. I bought a tonne of business cards for Bad Day with a Camera (side-hustle) and then discovered I’m mostly using eCards. Feel free to PM me for ideas for saving on hardware. I’m rooting for you no matter what.

Hey @MisterApple . I’m also studying at The OU. I have 30 credits down of a MA Open. Could you send me the link than I can check if I can apply as well?
How are the studies going?
I wouldn’t spend anything on Facebook advertising
The leads I got from there were a waste of time

Try and avoid a website builder like Wix
Wordpress is quite straight forward to understand
My first year only cost me £35 and using a web builder interface was over £200

It’s funny you mention that, bc I literally just opened a Wix account. Guess I’ll stick to Wordpress.
Thank you

Never applied in the end, I was fast asleep - there goes that opportunity. i’m not too fussed, I only really need to spend £200 on a webcam and whiteboard to get properly started.
I hate Facebook and any form of social media. I deleted most of mine already.
