Raising Entrepreneurs

Welcome back!

Young Entrepreneurs - Wayne Ramwell, Kevin Yap, Muhammed Saleen, Kaif Hussain and Mohtasham Qureshi

A TEAM of budding entrepreneurs are aiming to take the bite out of the credit crunch for young people.

Former Manchester Academy pupils Wayne Ramwell, 16, Kaif Hussein, 17, Kevin Yap, 16 and Muhammed Saleem, 16, have just published a guide to managing money for teenagers.

Easy Money was written as part of a Young Enterprise scheme at their old school,.

And, in keeping with its message of spending and saving wisely, the finance-savvy foursome are investing the proceeds to fund their university careers.

Easy Money was inspired by a news article that claimed more than half of all teenagers have been in debt by the age of 18. The boys received help and funding from professional mentors, but researched the content and structure of the book themselves.

To date, 500 copies of the book, which is packed full of tips on everything from employment contracts, to mortgages and ISAs, have been sold.
