| The Startups Awards are supported by the Department of Trade and Industry  "Success in business, especially in starting a business is vital, and should always be recognised. These awards are an excellent way to showcase success, to celebrate it, and to show other budding entrepreneurs what can be achieved. It is critical to the modern economy that whenever people are considering their career options, starting a business is seen as an achievable option. New employment opportunities for others are created by people starting and growing businesses, and new business supports the UK's continual success in the Global environment. During these times of rapid development in computer technology, all businesses need to be able to innovate and adapt, enabling them to take on the challenge of globalisation and contribute to the wealth of the UK. I wish all the entrants the very best of luck both with the awards and with growing their businesses."

“Risking It All’s Martin Webb (one of our judges) reckons starting a business is the new rock ‘n’ roll – and he’s not wrong. Be they pinstriped highfliers, wily pensioners, 14 year-old whizz kids or multi-tasking single parents, more people than ever are taking control of their lives and setting up businesses. From eBay to the high street, exciting new businesses are springing up everyday and it’s not just empowering for the people behind them but also great news for the UK economy. We’re delighted the Startups Awards is now seeking it’s fourth generation of inspirational new businesses and that the judging promises to be as competitive as ever. Make sure you’re in it, if you’d like to win it!”
