Tell us about Beasy
Beasy makes running a business a walk in the park. We鈥檙e the one stop shop for sole traders and micro business owners to find all the business products and services they might need to run a smooth operation, tech-powered strategies and guides to supercharge their growth, and curated news to keep them on the pulse.
There鈥檚 5.3m sole traders and micro businesses in the UK, and it鈥檚 no surprise that 92% say they struggle with managing their business – from admin, marketing, finance to growth. These business owners have to juggle multiple balls which stretches them for time, leading to them neglecting key aspects of their business.
The current business support found online often feels like a dense generic textbook鈥攑acked with information but hard to digest. At Beasy, we鈥檙e making everything business, easy.聽 We鈥檝e developed technology that doesn鈥檛 just throw information your way but actually understands your business鈥檚 unique needs to personalise the support. From matching businesses with the right products and services, providing a customised repository of resources, and proactively curating strategies and tactics for business growth. We help business owners leapfrog the huge learning curve and eases business anxiety.聽
Currently, micro business owners spend over 2 weeks a year on admin. Our product reduces the legwork by 90%, helping businesses improve performance, profitability, and growth.
How did you come up with the idea for the company?聽
When we started our first company, we realised that the whole business experience in the early days is really confusing. Everything we read online felt like it鈥檚 in a foreign language full of jargon and we didn鈥檛 have a network to call on. We basically had to freestyle our way through every aspect of starting a business.聽
We knew there had to be others experiencing this same struggle, and it turns out 4.9m others do. So Beasy was born. It鈥檚 the platform we wished we had when we started 鈥攁 place that brings together simplicity, clarity, and practicality. And it鈥檚 not just a platform; it鈥檚 a business companion, breaking down complex business concepts into actionable, understandable steps to empower every entrepreneur.

What can we hope to see from Beasy in the future?
We鈥檙e set to become synonymous with small business. The same way Netflix has become synonymous with streaming or like Uber has become with ride hailing, Beasy is what people will first think of when starting or running a small operation.聽
On the product roadmap, we鈥檙e building proprietary technology that integrates into business systems to streamline business decision making and admin. Using AI, we鈥檒l聽 be able to provide real-time insights and observations to inform optimal business choices and automate cost saving measures to improve profitability. And through a conversational chat interface business owners can easily auto-generate business resources; everything from custom TikTok strategies to sending customers personalised invoices, all just a message away. This truly revolutionises the day to day running of a small business. 聽聽
Overall, our goal is to democratise business by challenging the perception that starting a company is daunting. By leveraging our own experiences and hurdles that we faced when we were first-time entrepreneurs, we want to support aspiring founders from all walks of life.
