British Small Business Champion Awards 2008

 print  e-mail 

Although shows such as "The Apprentice" and "Dragons Den" are great entertainment, the reality of running a business is somewhat different. It takes skill, strength, stamina and ingenuity of epic proportions. It's so gruelling in fact that only real "champions" need apply. This of course is particularly true of smaller enterprises who are the true unsung heroes. Their quest is long and their enemies many, yet still they carry on.

The good news is that those who have braved the business world for over 5 years with fewer than 50 employees at their command now have the opportunity to be officially recognised for their courage against the odds.

The British Small Business Champion Awards present a unique opportunity to anyone with an entrepreneurial spirit and the strength to overcome the evils of poor cash flow, bossy customers and impromptu sickness days.

The Federation of Small Businesses (FSB) will choose 6 Area Champions from across the UK and these 6 businesses will get £1,000 to spend to the benefit of their business and will be forward for the national final. One of these businesses will be chosen as the 2008 National Champion and scoop the top prize of £10,000.
