About us
Who we are
Business Launchpad (BLP), we empower young people aged 18–30 from low-income backgrounds across London to pursue enterprising careers and achieve financial progress. We do this through tailored enterprise programmes, one-to-one coaching, and real-world employability experiences that build both business and life skills.
What makes our work truly unique is the environment that supports it. Our social enterprise, Tooting Works, powers this vision and offers inclusive workspaces, vital infrastructure, and a thriving community hub. Profits from its affordable office and co-working spaces are reinvested directly into our charitable work meaning every space rented helps fund opportunities for the young people we support.
Together, Business Launchpad and Tooting Works form a dynamic ecosystem where enterprise, innovation, and social purpose thrive.
