The Start Up Community


What do we do

We provide young entrepreneurs (aged 18-30) with heavily subsidised office space for a

two year period in order to make those first few years as comfortable as possible. Doing so

should help our clients businesses grow and develop in the future. This together with

dedicated one-to-one business advice and personal support will give every young person

the fundamental skills to succeed in business.

HYST will look to work with young people who have previously been; unemployed, under-

employed, disadvantaged in some way or totally new to the world of business. We enable

every young person to take responsibility of their own future and are willing to consider

anyone with the drive and determination to run their own business.

We are committed to working with young entrepreneurs in the local area, making their

businesses more competitive and sustainable to weather these early, daunting times. With

our support, we foresee a whole generation of young start-up businesses going on to

further develop their ventures, creating more jobs and contributing to the local community.

We are here to support young entrepreneurs from the humble beginnings of business

generation through to looking into the space available at HYST business incubation centre

(OneSixOne). Once our young business owners secure office space at OneSixOne the

support and guidance continues throughout their tenure. This then gives them every

opportunity to become commercially viable and allows the next generation of budding

young entrepreneurs to start their journey with HYST.


Our Partners


Hull Youth Support Trust – History

December 2015 – Building (161 High Street) acquired from Hull City Council

January 2016 – Funding successfully secured from our foundation partners

June 2016 – Able to Start offering space to young entrepreneurs in the building

November 2016 - Filled our centre with young entrepreneurs (start ups and early growth businesses

as well as 2 commercial clients.

January 2017 – Reallocation of funding from Garfield Weston Foundation

June 2017 – A number of tenants celebrated their first birthday with us

December 2017 – Reallocation of Rank Foundation Funding

February 2018 – Supported our 50th Business creation and continue to keep a fully occupied centre

June 2018 – Our first tenants that are still with us are offered the opportunity to become commercial

tenants

July 2018 – Princes Trust decide to use our centre as their local base for supporting young

entrepreneurs

November 2018 – OneSixOne used as best practice model for all YST centres opening in the UK

(Dundee, Telford, Sheerness and soon to be Newton Aycliffe)

February 2019 – Reallocation of funding from Garfield Weston Foundation

September 2019 – Creation of the (now) highly successful tenants association

March – May 2020 – supporting our tenants to receive over £200,000 of financial support in the

current Covid-19 crisis.


Our model

of Support

• Initial discussion and identification of current position

• Business Planning and cashflow forecasting

• Links into funding and other support agencies (if needed)

• Looking at our licence agreement if space is required

• Signing into a licence agreement if required

• Ongoing business and personal support through their time within the OneSixOne Community


Our Stepped Rental Model

We support our tenants with our stepped rental model over a 2 year period

that protects them in the early years of business creation and growth. This

model is designed to support them to be financially stable and become

commercially viable as businesses over time. We offer month by month

break clauses to safeguard our tenants from financial insecurity.

The model is as follows

Tenants pay:

50% of what the commercial rent would be in the 1st 0-12 months (12

months)

25% of what the commercial rent would in in the period of 13-18 month (6

months)

Full commercial rent for the end of the initial lease period 19-24 months (6

months)

This gives our tenants the ability to grow organically with a support system

around them and the peace of mind that if “things aren’t working…….” they

only need to find one months rent


Tenants Association

We created the TA in September 2019 and concept is as

follows:

• Tenants pay a service charge after 6 months tenancy

(£25 a month on top of rent)

• Tenancy can apply to sit on the TA after 12 months

tenancy in the OneSixOne Community

• The service charge is wholly administered by the TA

and all funds go towards what they want to see

improved in their community space.

• This can include security, furnishings, decoration of

communal space and even events or socials with paid

for guest speakers.

• The TA meet monthly to discuss the wants and

desires for the coming month(s)

AOB

Work Experience – an opportunity to feed back to the DfE

• Over the last two years, many employers have been offering industry placements - an extended period of structured time that a student spends in the workplace, developing real skills and making a meaningful contribution to the organisation.

• Industry placements will be a fundamental part of T Levels – a new course designed by employers for 16-19-year olds, which combines classroom learning with a substantial placement.

• What might this look like in the current circumstances?

• On Thursday 18 June, the Department for Education (DfE) and SDN are hosting an important webinar for employers, giving an update on industry placements and T Levels, how they might contribute to your workforce development in the coming months, and the support now available.

• There will also be chance to hear from two high-profile employers who have already been offering placements. The session is free of charge. Find out more and register here

• Any questions about the session? Email [email protected]
