Test trading market stall scheme
The Bromley ‘Test trading pop up’ pilot scheme helps aspiring entrepreneurs, small businesses, and local innovators trial products in a real market with low cost and, low-risk.
Delivered by Opportunity Bromley in partnership with Bromley Council, Start Up Bromley and Your Bromley BID, the scheme provides opportunity to test, learn, and grow before committing to a permanent space.
Successful applicants will be offered affordable access to stalls on Thursdays, Fridays and Saturdays for a 2 week period at a high footfall location within the Bromley Charter Market in the Town Centre. This will enable businesses to test the viability of their products/services with real customers in a live environment and give opportunities to refine product, pricing, and branding.
The scheme opened to entrepreneurs and businesses in the borough or in a Bromley business support network.
All participating businesses need a minimum of one million public liability insurance cover.
Applications for this scheme are now closed. Thank you to those who submitted an application. Successful applicants are being contacted in due course to provide further details.
The indicative timelines are as follows:
Week commencing 13 July - Successful applicants are informed and briefed about the scheme and invoiced.
Thursday 16 July - Initial cohort of businesses commence trading for a period of two weeks each on the Test Trading Market Stall.
Saturday 8 August - Final cohort of businesses cease trading on the Test Trading Market Stall.
