Dragon's Den star and one of the UK's best-known businesswomen, Rachel Elnaugh, is on the hunt for an entrepreneur in Birmingham to take on the challenge of launching and running a new website - Yourhomepagein.co.uk.

The site is a franchise operation run for local people, by local people, providing information about local businesses and services, local news, weather reports, local events and restaurants - any news and information that is relevant to the local community.

Rachel explains that all she needs now is someone to run it. She said: "For it to succeed requires the passion of a local entrepreneur committed to their local community, who is not afraid of hard work and who wants to work for themselves and make good returns, whilst providing a service that supports the local community and the local economy.

"How Yourhomepagein works is an individual buys the franchise opportunity for a one-off investment (from £7,000) for which they receive everything they need to get started from sales and marketing materials, through to the technical training required to run the site.

"The franchise model is an excellent way for individuals to start a business and learn what they are truly capable of, with the resources and support in place to help them."
