Maria Miller, local MP is encouraging Basingstoke’s small businesses to get involved in Small Business Saturday which will take place on 7th December.
Every year Small Business Saturday highlights 100 small businesses, one a day for the 100 days leading up to Small Business Saturday. The successful 100 businesses are profiled on Small Business Saturday's social media channels and their selection is shared with local and national press. Many 100 have chosen to mark their day by holding an event, offering a promotion or making an announcement.

Local business owners work so hard to make Basingstoke one of the top ten centres of employment in the South East.I urge small businesses in Basingstoke to apply for Small Business 100 for a chance to raise their profile and the incredible contribution they make to the British economy and our local communities.”
