– Entrepreneurs of minority ethnicities
– Business or organisation owners of minority ethnicities
– Minority ethnic employees
– Non-minority ethnic led business or organisations
– Individuals who are new/recent arrivals to the UK from minority ethnic backgrounds
– 16 to 25-year-old individuals of minority ethnicities
