The Bromley ‘Test trading pop up’ 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 to 4 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 latest scheme has 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.
New applications for test trading are currently being accepted and the application window will remain open for new applications until further notice. Successful applicants will be contacted in due course to provide further details.
The indicative timelines are as follows:
Thursday 15 October - The initial cohort of successful applicants are informed and briefed about the scheme and invoiced (whilst new applications continue to be accepted on an on-going basis).
Thursday 29 October - Initial cohort of 2 businesses commence trading for a period of two - four weeks each on the new Test Trading Market Stall.
