Oxford Business X is a youth enterprise scheme for children in schools in Oxfordshire. It provides funding for them to set up their own companies, which are legally owned by their school, and then expects them to make a profit to put into the fund for others to use. The scheme is based at the Said Business School, part of the University of Oxford.
If the pupils wish to then they can get involved with a parent or guardian. The business can go on for as long as it wants, as long as it is bringing in sufficient funds.
