Elite Business Live 2026 Set to Inspire UK SMEs in London

Elite Business Live, one of the UK’s leading events for small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs), returns on 12–13 March 2025 at St Paul’s, London (EC4V 5AJ). Now in its 13th year, the conference promises two days of practical insights, expert-led discussions, and networking opportunities tailored for ambitious entrepreneurs and business leaders.

Designed for start-ups, scale-ups, and growing SMEs, Elite Business Live offers attendees access to keynote speeches, panel discussions, and interactive workshops covering business growth strategies, digital innovation, marketing, finance, leadership, and international expansion. The event emphasizes actionable insights, helping businesses translate learning into measurable outcomes. A limited number of in-person studio tickets are available, while the full programme will be live-streamed free across the UK, ensuring broad access for business owners who cannot travel to London.

The 2025 edition will be hosted by Oli Barrett MBE, acclaimed by WIRED UK as “the most connected man in Britain,” alongside Hannah Prevett, Enterprise Editor at The Times. They will guide audiences through a diverse lineup of speakers, including Simon Squibb, global entrepreneur and founder of HelpBnk; Joseph Foster, founder of Reebok; and Joseph Valente, winner of The Apprentice and founder of Trade Mastermind, along with industry leaders from Dropbox and other fast-growing UK companies. Breakout sessions will allow more intimate discussions with experts such as Chloe Clover (Wander Films), Alison Shadrack (Adia PR), and Kurt Edwards (AdSmart by Sky), focusing on practical strategies for business success.

The conference programme is designed around the realities of running and scaling a modern business. Delegates will benefit from panel discussions, masterclasses, breakout workshops, speed mentoring, and live Q&A opportunities. The event’s broadcast-style studio environment is designed to maximize engagement for both in-person and virtual audiences. Networking is a core element, with structured sessions enabling delegates to connect with peers, potential clients, partners, and mentors. VIP passes provide front-row seating, exclusive speaker access, and additional networking opportunities. Scott English, founder of Elite Business Magazine and Elite Business Live, said, “It’s all about meaningful connections, practical advice, and inspiring stories from the very best entrepreneurs the UK has to offer.”
