Barclays is offering £50,000 each to the top ten business ideas submitted to its
Take One Small Step competition. The competition is open to existing businesses (
and charities and voluntary organisations are of course businesses) or start-up 
businesses. It aims “to find people with ambition, passion and, most importantly,
a great business idea”.

The only apparent restriction to a charity entering is that “winning entrants will
be required to open a Barclays Business Current Account if they do not currently
have one”, according to the terms and conditions.

Entry is online and entrants are encouraged to submit a two-minute video to summarise
and promote their entry. The competition is regional and involves the public voting
on a shortlist.
