About us.

Hello and welcome to Bizzspotlight.

BizzSpotlight is a hub for founders, business owners and entrepreneurs. The purpose of this platform is to deliver motivation for those starting out in the chaotic world of start-ups.

Our mission

Our mission is to bring you the most inspiring and thought-provoking stories from others who have walked the walk before you. Because, when it’s time for you to step up, you can reflect back on our founder interviews, and maybe… Just maybe one of these stories will help you bring your own idea to life.

We’ve been doing this for some time now

Established in 2017, we launched Bizzspotlight in the hope of bringing you unique voices from founders, that can impart words of wisdom, advice for start-ups and inspire small businesses. We cover everything you need to know to start, buy, run or sell a business.

And it’s an exciting time for start-up founders. In fact, in 2020, when Covid-19 dealt us with its many lockdowns, the US, UK, France, Germany and Japan all showed substantial increases in new company registrations in the following months, despite the global economic crisis as a result of Covid-19.

That’s just one of the many reasons why we love speaking to Founders of new businesses.

We’re a resilient bunch. We’re multi-taskers. We’re movers and shakers. We make things happen.

And we’re here to hold your hand through it all. We want to continue seeing our founders thrive in their business. We want to give founders of successful businesses a voice and a platform to share their own business inspiration.

Whether you aspire to expand your product range, penetrate a new market, or raise funds, we’re here to bring you practical business advice, business inspiration and support throughout your journey.

Business Ideas

Are you the sort of person who knows that they aspire to run a business, but have no idea where or how to start? Have you been toying with the idea of being an entrepreneur for quite some time?

This section will help you decide which industry is right for you. We compile guides on starting a business in various sectors. We have interviewed people who own these types of businesses so that you get a real insider view on what it entails to start that type of business.

We continue to compile business ideas even now – So if you notice that an industry hasn’t yet been covered and you feel like you could give us some insight and added value, we’d love to hear from you!
