The Micro Business Alliance

Why?

The members of the Micro Business Alliance believe that by collaborating and helping each other, we can gain better recognition, better represent the views of and work on better policymaking for micro-businesses with the Government.

This collaboration benefits the Government, all startups, self-employed people and micro business owners in England.

“Together we are mighty” and #microbizmatters

Who are the members?

Organisations (Company, Network, Influencer and Membership Body) that are engaged with at least 100 micro-businesses and sign up to The Micro Business Alliance, Purpose, Mission, and Values Statement. There is no charge.

Micro-businesses include businesses of all types that employ 0 or up to 9 employees and include all start-ups. This includes freelancers, sole proprietors and even ‘side hustlers.’

Mission

Micro businesses are no longer treated as the Cinderellas of the business world and are at the fore of Government planning and decision-making
The unique value micro-businesses bring to society, however small they are or are likely to remain, is acknowledged
The unique characteristics and, therefore, needs of micro businesses are met
Micro businesses are never again discriminated against purely based on the number of employees, turnover, length of time established, or business structure
Micro businesses get involved in the education and skills landscape and community development
Micro businesses create a fairer society in a manner that is proportionately less carbon-intensive and environmentally destructive than their larger counterparts
