Start Up Donut is helping one lucky person bring their business dream to life, with a Start-up Support Package worth over £3,000.

Start Up Donut has partnered with some of the UK’s best experts and biggest small business supporters to offer those thinking of starting their own business the chance to win a Start-up Support Package.

Rory MccGwire, founder of the Start Up Donut said, “Starting a business is both exciting and challenging. There are so many things to consider and start-up costs to cover that surviving the first twelve months in business is not always a given.

“We’re delighted to be able to offer one business the chance to win this Start-up Support Package to help them navigate their first months in business. We have worked with some of the best names in small business support to put together this Start-up Support Package including HP, Lukango, Coconut, Venture Planner, British Chambers of Commerce, social media expert Luan Wise, ESET and IPSE.”

Danny Nourse, SMB & Commercial PC Business Manager UK at HP told us, “Small businesses are the backbone of the British economy. They provide jobs for more than 16.6 million people and generate 52% of the total UK turnover. That’s why small businesses matter.

“Start-up Donut has been supporting small business owners for more than 30 years. HP is dedicated to helping small businesses unlock their potential, too. Last year, HP helped more than 53,000 small and medium-sized UK businesses with tailored IT advice and solutions, credit and leasing options and onsite support to help them keep their businesses moving forward.”

Alex Clansey, co-founder of Venture Planner said, “Since December 2023, we, at Venture Planner, have helped more than 50,000 businesses plan smarter and grow faster with our cutting-edge, AI-powered business planner.
