The following table gives the number of mentor and business starts for New Enterprise Allowance from April 2011 to June 2015. It is possible that a person may start on the scheme more than once. New Enterprise Allowance is only available in England, Scotland and Wales, therefore figures have been provided for Great Britain, not the United Kingdom. These figures are taken from the published Official Statistics which can be found at: https://www.gov.uk/government/statistics/new-enterprise-allowance-april-2011-to-june-2015<\/a>.<\/p>
