Let’s make sure the country sees your business.
For one week in June, small businesses across the UK will take part in a coordinated national initiative designed to encourage the public to recognise, support and spend with independent businesses.
At the same time, millions of consumers will be prompted to look locally, choose independently and back the businesses that keep Britain moving.
If you run a business, this is your opportunity to be part of something visible, credible and nationwide.
Register your business to take part. It’s completely free.
Register Your Business (it’s free!)Small businesses employ millions, power local economies and shape the character of communities across the UK.
YOU are the backbone of this country. Yet so many small and independent businesses operate with limited visibility beyond their existing customers.

They choose independent more often.
They spend more locally.
UK Small Business Week is projected to stimulate hundreds of millions of pounds in additional economic activity across small businesses throughout the UK.
