Our Journey Forward

From a simple idea in 2018 to becoming a trusted partner for aspiring entrepreneurs across the United Kingdom

2018

The Foundation Years

mireqantos began when Marlena Wickworth noticed a gap in practical business education. Too many brilliant minds were stuck in the planning phase, unable to bridge the gap between having an idea and actually starting something meaningful.

  • Launched with focus on practical business idea development
  • Established partnerships with 12 local business mentors
  • Created our signature "Idea to Action" methodology
  • Opened our Northampton headquarters
2022

Expanding Horizons

The pandemic taught us something crucial – business resilience isn't just about surviving tough times, it's about adapting and finding new opportunities. We completely reimagined our approach to financial education and business development.

  • Developed comprehensive online learning modules
  • Introduced sector-specific business idea workshops
  • Built strategic partnerships with regional business networks
  • Launched mentorship matching program
