Behind TalentsBrand: A Mission to Empower and Uplift
TalentsBrand CIC was born from a single, powerful idea: that every entrepreneur, regardless of background or circumstance, deserves the chance to build a thriving business. Our mission is to make that possibility a reality through mentorship, community-driven resources, and innovative tools.
"Our future growth relies on competitiveness and innovation, skills and productivity... and these, in turn, rely on the education of our people"
Favour’s Story
​
Hello,
I’m Favour Onabanjo, the founder of TalentsBrand Innovation CIC.
My journey as an entrepreneur began at just 21, when I opened my first retail outlet on the busy streets of Lagos, Nigeria. Business felt natural to me — until life took me in a new direction.
In 2008, I moved to the UK with my husband, full of dreams but facing challenges I never anticipated. I tried business idea after business idea while juggling a full-time job and raising three wonderful children. For six long years, nothing seemed to work. I was exhausted, discouraged, and almost ready to give up — until I met a mentor who shifted everything.
Through her guidance, I discovered the power of having a clear roadmap, outsourcing strategically, and automating parts of my business. For the first time, I felt supported, confident, and equipped to turn passion into profit. That experience didn’t just transform my business — it transformed me.
And it lit a fire in me: to help other entrepreneurs, especially those overlooked or under-resourced, achieve the same breakthrough.
That’s why TalentsBrand was born. And today, as TalentsBrand Innovation CIC, we’re going even further — empowering communities with tools, coaching, and innovation so no one is left behind.
Why We Became a CIC
Over the years, I coached countless clients who faced barriers similar to mine: lack of funding, limited networks, and insufficient tools to bring their visions to life. I realized that community impact needed to be at the heart of everything TalentsBrand does.
By transitioning to a Community Interest Company (CIC), we’ve structured TalentsBrand so that profits aren’t just for the bottom line—they’re reinvested back into the very communities we aim to uplift. It’s not just about building businesses; it’s about changing lives.
