SIX finalists have been chosen to go head-to-head in a Dragon's Den-style competition and fight for the prize of a �10,000 business package.
The Change your Life for �1 competition will feature six potential businesses looking for a helping hand to make their dreams into a reality.
The competition, organised by The Hunts Post and Huntingdonshire District Council, has attracted a wide range of business ideas, which is reflected in the short-list for the final showdown.
Business which have been invited to pitch their ideas in front of the Dragons, include a interior design workshop, a florist, a maker of boat covers, and a music promoter.
The Dragons - made up of some of Cambridgeshire's finest business brains - will choose one winner who will receive a year's lease on an office at the Creative Exchange in St Neots, advice from a business mentor, an accountant and a lawyer, as well as advertising in The Hunts Post and advice from a marketing expert.
The final takes place in St Neots on Tuesday (September 22). A full report will be in The Hunts Post and on www.huntspost24.co.uk
The event is sponsored by NWES, Mills and Reeve in Cambridge, Media Managers Limited in Cambridge, Haines Watts Chartered Accountants, the Cambridgeshire Chambers of Commerce and Anglian Water.
