Rosie Elvin is the founder of ADHD Focus, a specialist training and coaching provider for individuals with ADHD and businesses.
She received her ADHD diagnosis at 43. Before that, she spent five years looking into the condition and suspecting she may have had it herself. On her diagnosis, she knew she wanted to do more to help others with the condition thrive professionally.
Rosie set up her training business, ADHD Focus, in 2024. It helps adults, particularly women, with understanding their neurodivergence through coaching and training. To help her start up the business, Rosie successfully applied for a £5,000 Start Up Loan with support from First Enterprise.
As a qualified business coach, and drawing on her lived experience of ADHD and over 16 years of working as an academic, she guides students, many of whom are neurodiverse. She works with both individuals and businesses to help improve understanding of neurodiversity in the workplace, offering Continuing Professional Development (CPD) accreditations.
Impact of the Start Up Loan
£5,000
loan to set up her business to support adults, particularly women, with understanding their neurodivergence through coaching and training.
First Enterprise
is a leading business support organisation based in the heart of Nottingham, established to support the needs of pre-start and existing business owners across the East Midlands and West Midlands.
Since I was diagnosed with ADHD myself, I wanted to use my skills to help others thrive and succeed in their careers. Setting up ADHD Focus has been the realisation of the fact I want to help others, and I’ve already been fortunate to support more than 20 individuals in their journey, and have delivered training to many businesses keen to support neurodivergent staff.
The British Business Bank’s commitment to assisting entrepreneurs like myself particularly through the Start Up Loans programme, has been instrumental in laying a solid foundation for my business.
