Business Incubation

Our business incubator, QU2 Leeds is a hub for young, high growth businesses

QU2 business incubator provides high quality support and advice services as well as a perfect location to develop the full potential of your new or growing business. You can take advantage of our virtual office solutions, office accommodation and affordable meeting rooms.

There is also onsite mentoring and support. Plus, you can develop your business further with our training programmes, including bespoke business development and social media training.

Over the past decade, we have supported the start-up and growth of over 600 businesses, creating over 1,300 jobs in the region with a collective turnover of more than £42m. As well as our QU2 business incubator, we also offer support services through Business Start-Up, which supports students and graduates of Leeds Metropolitan who want to become self-employed or start up in business.

QU2 Operations Manager Katie Rigarlsford says: “Statistically 50 per cent of start-up businesses will fail in year one of trading. QU2 increases sustainability levels to 95 per cent.”

 

“I came to QU2 as they offered subsidised office space, business advisers, access to funding, workshops and the opportunity to work alongside other businesses at a similar level to ours. The networking has been invaluable: one company that I worked with at QU2 is now developing the software needed for the recent business I have set up and we continue to work together on projects.”
