The annual British Small Business Champions Awards are the only awards exclusively for small businesses, and were launched by The Federation of Small Businesses in 2003 to heighten the profile of the UK's small business community and to celebrate its achievements. There are 4.3 million UK small businesses; 97% of all businesses employ less than 20 members of staff and there are 12 million people working in them.
