Bless Start began as a small academic project at Surrey Business School, uniting students, graduates, and academics with a shared mission to create a business that delivers both profit and purpose. Today, the enterprise operates multiple mobile coffee sites across London and the South East, giving aspiring entrepreneurs hands-on experience running their own coffee carts.

By lowering barriers to entry and removing the need for heavy start-up costs, Bless Start offers participants the chance to develop essential business skills, build confidence, and engage directly with their communities. Each coffee cart serves as a platform for empowerment, teaching practical entrepreneurship while fostering social change.

The venture has quickly gained momentum, expanding its reach and social impact. The Surrey Business School team continues to guide and support new entrepreneurs, ensuring Bless Start remains a beacon of innovation, collaboration, and opportunity in the region’s business ecosystem.
