Small Business Saturday Kicks Off Campaign to Support UK's 5.7 Million Small Firms

Small Business Saturday has kicked off its annual campaign to celebrate and support the UK's 5.7 million small businesses.

The campaign, which is founded by American Express, has named this year's Nation's Favourite Businesses, a selection of innovative small businesses from across the UK that are making a positive impact in their local communities.

This year's list includes Grounds for Good, the UK's first botanical spirits range in South Wales; Wild Cairns, an outdoor adventure experience in Scotland; and Breastfeeding Boat, a floating community space in Central London, among others.

As part of the campaign, two eligible businesses will be awarded grants of £10,000 each to support their future growth. The grants can be used for various purposes such as upgrading equipment, boosting marketing efforts, or investing in customer experience.
