The Tour 2024

BROUGHT TO YOU BY
SMALL BUSINESS SATURDAY

Each year Small Business Saturday runs a national roadshow that travels the length and breadth of the country to tell the story of the UK's incredible small businesses.

The Tour will return again this November to spotlight and support small businesses all over the country and their communities and mark the official countdown to Small Business Saturday.

Once again supported by BT, The Tour will visit twenty three different towns and cities, visiting small businesses, going behind the scenes and meeting the people running them, to shine a light on their invaluable contribution to local communities and the wider UK economy.

It will also offer a jampacked free daily programme of online training and insight - including webinars, mentoring and inspiring entrepreneurial stories - open to all small businesses.

Kicking off in Lossiemouth on Monday 4th November, The Tour will travel over 3,000 miles across the UK for over the course of five weeks in an electric van to limit emissions and reflect the sustainable switches many small business owners are making as part of their vital role in the race to net zero.
