Kick start your business by using an RMU for free at the Sovereign Shopping Centre in Boscombe!

CentreSpace are launching an initiative to support local companies in the Bournemouth area by offering a Retail Merchandising Unit in the Sovereign Shopping Centre free of charge for 2 weeks.

A Retail Merchandising Unit (RMU) typically offers traders a low-cost, flexible option which enables them to test their product in a retail environment and gain feedback from their target audience. This is usually the first step for a first-time trader in establishing their business before committing to a longer-term licence.

We’re asking local start-ups to submit a short application as to why you deserve this fantastic opportunity. The RMU is situated outside Brighthouse and your brand will be seen by 100,000 people per week. We will consider all applications and whilst there will be just one winner, we can consider applications for low-rent trials for up to 4 weeks. Not only that, we’d love to offer you merchandising ideas and assistance on an ongoing basis.

In order to apply, please provide the following information in an email to: annabel@forumcentrespace.co.uk

• Full Name
• Name of your business
• Short description of the products you would like to sell
• Photos of your products (if you have any)
• When your business was set up
• Where your business is based
• Why you feel you deserve this opportunity

Applications end 31st August so please apply before this date and you can be trading in the Sovereign Centre in no time at all…

Good luck from the team at CentreSpace & the Sovereign Shopping Centre!
