It's time to let your business shine

Across the UK, class-based businesses are changing lives - from children’s activity providers and creative studios, to fitness instructors, tutors, and adult training academies.

The Class Business Awards are here to shine a light on the leaders and trailblazers making an impact with their business everyday.

What is a class business?

We love class-based businesses — and hate how often their impact gets overlooked.

A Class Business is powerful, community-driven and deserves far more visibility than it gets.

Growing the Class Business Academy way means running your business with clarity, support and a plan.

It’s about filling your classes, getting recognised and feeling part of something bigger.

And most of all, it’s about building a strong, sustainable business without trying to do everything alone.
