About Us

Business advice and support. Made easy.

Small businesses are the lifeblood of the UK economy and number over 5.7m.

They share many challenges in today’s turbulent and fast-changing world – from the age-old issues of cash flow to the new possibilities presented by digital technology.

Particularly at this time, they need support and guidance to overcome the fallout from Covid-19 and Brexit.

That’s where Informi comes in.

Launched in 2016 by AAT, Informi is a free-to-use website that provides support on all aspects of running a business. In the years since, we have been growing our audience and winning plaudits ever. Here are just some of the successes we’ve enjoyed:

  • 673,116+ visitors in 2021
  • 60,000+ average number of visitors per month in 2021
  • 69,676 visitors in April 2021– our busiest month ever
  • 15,000 + downloads of the How to start a business in 20 days ebook
  • Shortlisted for UXUK Award in 2016 and 2019
  • Generated over 300 pieces of media coverage since launching, including one front page
  • Through our lobbying work with AAT, we’ve successfully campaigned on behalf of small businesses on issues such as prompt payment, business rates, VAT, SME access to finance, SME access to the Financial Ombudsman Service, improving SME productivity and Making Tax Digital.

With Informi, it was so easy to start finding great ideas to help me develop ideas for marketing and running my small recording studio and music production business. Within seconds I was registered and getting great tips on the website and via the regular newsletter.
