£25,000 up for grabs in the Simply Business competition aimed at helping those starting or growing a small business

Whether you’re thinking about starting a business or you could do with a little support for your small business after the challenges of the last 18 months, the £25K Business Boost grant by Simply Business would be well worth a look.

Simply Business are one of the UK’s largest providers of small business insurance and therefore they know only too well how much of a positive impact that small businesses have on both society in general as well as the economy.

Since finance can be one of the biggest barriers when starting a business, the £25,000 cash on offer from this Simply Business grant would go a long way to help someone kick-start their business idea.

Alan Thomas, UK CEO at Simply Business, comments: “Small businesses are built on big dreams, and countless self-employed people have seen these dreams put to the test during this most challenging of periods. We want to make a genuinely transformational impact to a small business owner's life – with a cash injection that can put someone's big dream back on track.

"And from our research we know £25,000 will do just that. The average cost of Covid-19 to existing small businesses stands at £22,461, meanwhile, the average cost for startups in year one alone stands at £22,756.

As the country attempts to recover economically, we hope that our Business Boost will provide one small business owner with a significant financial helping hand. Small business success will be crucial to both the economy and the livelihoods of so many up and down the country as the UK looks to bounce back.”

Applications to this fab competition are now open and must be submitted before 17th September. The winner will be selected by an expert panel before being announced in October.

Best of luck to all who enter!
