#SBS Small Business Sunday

#SBS is one of the leading small business networks in the UK with over 4,000 active members.

Each week, Theo Paphitis welcomes 6 small businesses who tweet, comment or post an image to @TheoPaphitis describing their businesses to the #SBS community. #SBS now runs on X, Instagram and LinkedIn.

Theo-logy

Theo says, “I admire people who have passion and energy. If you cannot bore your friends to death about your own small business then something is seriously wrong. I was struck by the number of business owners on Twitter (now X) who wanted to tell me about their new products and services. Small Business Sunday was born so that people have a specific time slot to post and pitch their ‘sell’ directly to me. #SBS, marking its 15th anniversary in 2025, now runs on X, Instagram and LinkedIn and I am constantly blown away by the depth and quality of the entrants.”

#SBS Monthly Winner!

Rise n Design

#SBS winner Rise n Design won the ‘Young Entrepreneur Award 2024’ at the Biz Women Awards.

The event took place on 30th September at Ashdown Park Hotel in East Grinstead where winners were announced.

On winning the award Founder of Rise n Design said: “To sit in a room full of amazing women with fantastic businesses, I was in shock to win an award. On Sunday morning I woke up not knowing anyone who would be at the awards evening, not even the organisers. So to win this award was huge for me, to be chosen by a panel who doesn’t know me or my business personally really did mean the world”

It's almost Small Business Sunday!

Perfect time to come up with a Tweet or post for Instagram or LinkedIn about your business.
