Small Business Saturday Blog

The SmallBiz100 is 100 brilliant small businesses chosen by Small Business Saturday to showcase some of the best businesses Britain has to offer. We will then promote one SmallBiz100 business every day in the 100 day run up to Small Business Saturday, which will take place on Saturday, 6th December.

It’s a great opportunity to showcase your small business and raise awareness both locally and nationally. On your allocated day, your business will be promoted across Small Business Saturday’s social media channels, including Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn and Threads, meaning it’s a fantastic way to make a big impact, get noticed and get new customers.'

Outside of your allocated day, you’ll find there are plenty of PR opportunities within the media. Local press love to get involved and feature local businesses which have been selected to join SmallBiz100, and Small Business Saturday will support you by helping you to prepare press releases for your local papers. It doesn’t end after your day is over either – the campaign is always thrilled to share good news from former SmallBiz100 businesses across our platforms.

The one benefit which comes up time and time again when speaking to previous SmallBiz100 participants is the support network which being a SmallBiz100 provides.

Running your own small business can be lonely at times, and it can be hard to know where to turn for help and advice from those who really know what you’re experiencing. Taking part in SmallBiz100 provides you with a fantastic community and a ready-made support network of small businesses just like yours, all at different stages of growth.

You’ll get access to a private alumni Facebook group for sharing tips, asking for advice, providing support and celebrating your success. Plus there are also plenty of opportunities to collaborate with other small businesses who have been there and done that.
