More people over 65 are going into business than ever. Last year 465,000 told the Office for National Statistics that they were self-employed – that’s more than double the figure a decade ago. Barclays, the UK’s largest retail bank, says 19,000 people who were 55 or over opened new business accounts last year – also a huge rise on 10 years ago. They’ve hired Liz Earle, a skincare entrepreneur, to advise them. Melanie Abbott talks to Liz Earle and another 'olderpreneur'. First broadcast on You & Yours, 24 August 2017.
