There are 12 categories to pick from so whether you are looking to follow in the footsteps of last years winners Platts Agriculture Limited in the Family Business or Sustainability awards, take inspiration from 2022 winner Adra in the Young Entrepreneur category or enter the Start-Up Business award, just like Onesta did last year, there is a category for everyone and you can enter more than one.
It is free to enter the awards and you will benefit from geting your business spotlighted with local and national media attention, as well as extensive social media coverage. The recognition of being shortlisted for an award, or making it through to the final, make the awards the perfect place to celebrate your achievements in business, as well as the opportunity to connect with small business owners in a wide range of sectors both locally and across the UK.
Some tips for submitting your entry:
- Check your eligibility – Your business must be based (or have your head office) in the UK and less than 250 full time equivalent employees (or 9 for the Micro Business category)
- Entering more than one category – Tailor the answers to each category, the judges will be scoring against specific criteria
- Read the criteria – Take time to understand the questions and address each point clearly
- Keep to the limit – Questions will have a word limit so use the limited space to grab attention
- Presentation is key – Use sub-headings and bullet points where necessary and ensure entry is well structured and don’t forget to proofread
- Double check your copy – What is written may appear in printed programmes so make sure it makes sense
- Include relevant attachments – Link to customer testimonials or a link to the company website
The final, and most important tip, is don’t miss the deadline! The deadline for the FSB Wales awards submission is Thursday 2 February so don’t delay, enter today!
