“We removed upfront costs, all risk, and lowered the barrier to entry for everyone, because this is the change we wanted to see in the business awards arena.”
We celebrate the diversity of UK businesses by making awards accessible to all, and levelling the playing field. Our awards programme is designed to allow even the smallest business to compete with multi-national enterprises.
The Business Awards UK awards platform reaches millions of start-ups, SMEs and enterprises through trusted publishing partners and platforms.

Enter your company in the fastest growing awards platform in the UK, and compete with companies and individuals from all over the UK!
Make your region proud.
Enter our regional awards and compete in your county. Over 40 counties and 60 sectors to choose from!
We know that many small business owners, entrepreneurs and larger organisations don't like to pay up front for awards, where fees range from £99 to more than £200 per category. With us, all your entries are free.
It just makes sense. Why pay an entry fee when you get nothing in return? If you enter an award sector with Business Awards UK and win, you pay an Award Acceptance Fee, then enjoy a raft of benefits for winning.
As a winner or finalist, you get credible industry recognition & publicity from National press releases through Google News, outlets such as AP News & Benzinga, and newswires.
Social media marketing is important for all businesses, which is why we announce your accolades on social platforms, and regularly engage with you and your followers.
Select winners may be chosen for the creation of additional free in-depth PR content, highlighting the success of your business and making you a trusted voice in your industry.
Our ethos is simple: all businesses should be treated equally, and your achievements should be judged based on achievement alone. We have structured our awards and judging process so that everyone is on an equal footing – from Lone Wolf to Corporate Enterprise.
Entries are judged based on merit – not on bank balance or size of the company. We’re not “pay to play” like some of our competitors.
Directors Dan Trindade and Mark Byrne developed the Business Awards UK model around the suggestions and needs of UK business owners.
With strong business backgrounds and a network of high-level contacts from some of the UK’s most notable firms, Dan and Mark set out to change the way UK awards were managed, giving back as much as possible to the community.
Our judging panel are business experts with a wealth of knowledge in various industries. They lend their experience and business acumen to the many award sectors we cover.
Our panel consists of dozens of private & public guest judges; below are a few of our business experts who will be selecting shortlists, winners and finalists in our awards!
