Are you proud and passionate about your business?
Stirling Small Business Awards 2019 has a primary purpose; to recognise the impact that small businesses have in the Stirling community and on our local economy. There are 22,000 small businesses in the greater Stirling region and the Awards will celebrate the contribution all these businesses make in terms of employment, economic prosperity, social impact and fostering a stronger and vibrant community.
We’d like to know more about you and your business and recognise and celebrate your contribution to the region. It matters!
“There is no failure. Only feedback” – Robert Allen
Stirling Small Business Awards are not like other awards. Having reviewed our previous processes and realigned with our vision, we are proud to announce that for the first time we are offering something incredibly valuable to each award nominee.
All nominees this year will receive 60 minutes free mentoring with a member of the judging panel, each one a true industry expert. This is an opportunity to enhance your written application to be able to demonstrate your passion and commitment for your business. In addition you will receive advice on your most important business issues that will provide you with tangible feedback to support you and your business to grow, no matter what stage in business you are at.
