Undoubtedly, the BCoEC team has
much to celebrate. In March 2015,
BCoEC transitioned from an inhouse training programme to a
virtual platform that reaches 800
entrepreneurs per year. In September
2015, BCoEC and the Arthur Guinness
Project combined to create a collateralfree, low-interest loan fund, which has
been hugely beneficial for recipients.
BCoEC also welcomed its first cohort
from the British Virgin Islands in 2016,
powered by KPMG.
BCoEC’s impact figures are also
e xceptional. “On average, the
entrepreneurs that participate in the
programme have created three new
jobs, supported three existing jobs and
experience an average revenue growth
of 158%. Those stats are met with great
praise in the industry, and we couldn’t
be prouder,” says Lisa.
