Partner with us to deliver meaningful impact at scale
Why partner with us?
Small businesses and charities are the lifeblood of our communities, but starting and growing a venture is hard, particularly in our complex digital world. We believe that no one should have to do it alone.
Digital Boost is a social enterprise, owned by a charity, that makes it easy for companies and governments to collaborate to power the productivity and success of the small organisations who drive inclusive growth.
Proven platform
We are the UK’s largest free mentoring and peer support platform for small businesses. Our community of 36,000+ small organisations is highly engaged, with a 4.9/5 Trustpilot score.
Local impact at scale
With over 5,000 volunteer mentors, local mentor matching, and in-person events across the UK, we deliver support to every community – within a common national infrastructure.
Inclusive growth
We support all businesses but target under-represented founders. 64% of those we support are female; 48% ethnic minority. We also have programmes for disabled and refugee founders.
Data-driven impact
Our platform tracks every hour of support, helping you meet your Social Value and ESG reporting requirements, aligned to TOMs, PPN 002, and other frameworks.
