Small Business Saturday launches national roadshow and virtual workshops

Small Business Saturday UK has launched its national roadshow that travels the length and breadth of the country ahead of Small Business Saturday on 7 December.

Kicked off in Lossiemouth on Monday (4 November), The Tour will travel over 3,000 miles across the UK for over the course of five weeks in an electric van to limit emissions and reflect the sustainable switches many small business owners are making as part of their vital role in the race to net zero.

The Tour will visit 23 different towns and cities, visiting small businesses, going behind the scenes and meeting the people running them, to shine a light on their invaluable contribution to local communities and the wider UK economy.

It will also offer a jampacked free daily programme of online training and insight - including webinars, mentoring and inspiring entrepreneurial stories - open to all small businesses.

Running from 4 November to 4 December, Monday to Friday at 11am, small businesses can sign up to as many free daily webinars as they want. Covering essential topics like marketing on a budget, time management, finance, sustainability and more, the webinars will offer practical tips and insights from industry experts.

As part of The Tour, the campaign is also offering 1-hour mentoring sessions with trusted small business experts. Sessions run from 4 November to 16 December. Businesses are being urged to book before the 16 November deadline to secure their spot.

Small Business Saturday UK is a grassroots, non-commercial campaign, which highlights small business success and encourages consumers to 'shop local' and support small businesses in their communities.
