Throughout the world nine out of every ten people running their own enterprises have between 0 and 9 employees. We call these micro enterprises and in January 2012 after a year of testing the free, indie and no contact details required, Enterprise Rockers self help community was founded to make business life better for micro enterprise owners everywhere.

On Enterprise Rockers 3rd birthday and the birthday of co-founder Tina Boden and Led Zeppelin lead guitarist, Jimmy Page, the first annual MicroBizMattersDay took place. On January 9th 2015, self employed and business owners gave 9 minutes to help other small business owners (Full details on the day can be found at www.microbizmattersday.rocks)

In celebration of the many small businesses we have had the pleasure of working with, in the Disabled Entrepreneurs Network, we thought we would showcase some of the fantastic work that is being carried out by so many small businesses around the UK.
