Why10,000 small businesses?
High-growth small businesses play a vital role in creating jobs and driving economic growth in the UK through innovation and market expansion. Social enterprises are increasingly contributing to UK economic and community development through sustainable business models that are less dependent on traditional grant funding.
‘We are proud of the positive impact 10,000
Small Businesses is having across the UK.
Participants are reporting measurable gains in revenue and profitability, and creating jobs. They are gaining the skills and confidence needed to take prudent risks and grow amidst market uncertainty. This initiative is establishing a lasting national community of small businesses that are supporting each other to maximise potential.’

77% of participants are creating net new jobs
66% of participants are growing revenues
However, many small businesses and social enterprises struggle to access the support needed to overcome the many challenges they face as they take their businesses to the next level.
After extensive research, Goldman Sachs launched the 10,000 Small Businesses programme in the UK in 2010 to specifically address this support gap. The programme is a unique business development and education initiative designed by leading experts specifically for high growth small enterprise leaders from across sectors, and is run in partnership with some of the country’s top business schools and universities.
The programme’s approach to combining practical education and business support services enables small firms to navigate barriers to growth and unlock the economic and job creation potential of their businesses.
The participants are connected to a dynamic and supportive community of like-minded, forward-looking
individuals.
