The Elite Business 100 (EB100) is back for 2026, celebrating the achievements of entrepreneurs around the UK.
BusinessesforSale.com is partnered with the EB100, with the awards ceremony taking place 11 March 2026 at the Leonardo Royal Hotel, St Paul’s, London. The entrepreneurial spirit of the UK's finest SMEs will be honoured and the additional winners, chosen from the 100 ranking, will be crowned.
The yearly ranking has previously featured leading companies including J&J Global Fulfilment, Cotswold Fayre and Must Have Ideas and is a testament to the success of UK entrepreneurs.
The judging panel, consisting of industry experts including Emma Jones CBE (Small Business Commissioner and founder of Enterprise Nation), Piers Linney (entrepreneur, investor, and former Dragons’ Den star), and Simon Squibb (founder of HelpBnk and advocate of entrepreneurship for all), will evaluate businesses based on their contributions to the community, commitment to employee welfare, innovation, and a bold vision for future growth.
Speaking about the launch of the awards, Scott English, Founder and Director of Elite Business Magazine and the EB100, said: “EB100 isn’t just an award, it’s the ultimate celebration of the dynamic businesses driving the UK forward. In 2025, resilience, innovation, and purposeful leadership matter more than ever, and SMEs remain the beating heart of our economy.
“This is their moment to shine on a national stage. We’re spotlighting businesses that are breaking barriers, reimagining industries, and shaping the future of UK enterprise. Winners don’t just earn recognition – they gain access to an exclusive community of EB100 Alumni, unlocking lifetime connections, opportunities, and influence.”
