Since 2017 we’ve been improving the productivity of the UK’s small and medium businesses through:
Unique support programmes for small business
Experiential leadership skills development
Innovative partnerships with leading corporates
Industry-led research and insight
What we do: Unique support programmes
99.9% of UK businesses are small businesses, defined as those with less than 49 employees.
They’re the economic engine of the country
We’ve been finding ways to help small business leaders fulfil their potential since 2017, and our support programmes have been proved to deliver an average turnover uplift of 8%.
Because when small businesses win, we all win.
If you are a small business leader looking for help to grow your company, gain a competitive edge and unleash your productivity, we’re here to help.
WHAT We do: Experiential Leadership development
We’re here to make a difference.
Enhancing leadership and management skills is a simple route to improving the productivity of any organisation.
Our Inspiring Leaders programme is an opportunity for large organisations to offer purpose driven, experiential learning to their own talent pool.
What we do: Industry led research and insight
Through a range of research, insight and evaluations we are building the evidence base around what makes small businesses more productive, leading to more effective interventions in the future.
By running in depth and long term studies - such as our Productive Business Index - we’ve developed a core understanding of small business leaders - their motivations, behaviours and challenges - and learning what makes a real difference to their productivity.
What we do: Innovative Partnerships
Just as small business productivity is our ‘what’, partnerships are our ‘how’.
“The answer to the productivity puzzle ultimately lies within the business community. It is up to the UKs flagship businesses to show leadership on this issue, and to do their part to revitalise our economy and society.” Sir Charlie Mayfield, Chair, Be the Business
Our corporate partnerships are delivering real impact in small businesses across all sectors and in all regions of the UK
