The New Business of the Year Award

Criteria

Has your new business demonstrated impressive growth and resilience over the last three years? Have you scaled your new business and proved the success of your product or service? Has your mission, plan and team impressed a lender or investor enough to help fund your growth – or have you grown organically with profitable sales?

If your high performing new business has been trading for fewer than three years and you have an inspirational success story to tell, this could be your award. New Business of the Year recognises companies that have exceeded their initial targets for growth and made an impact in their industry with great innovation, service and leadership.

Tell us how your concept and business plan has met and overcome challenges, how you have adapted to the demands of your market, shown significant innovation, built a strong team and why it has the foundations for continued success and further growth.
