Sponsors

The StartUp Britain campaign is fully funded by our private sponsors: AXA, Dell, Intel, Intuit, PayPal and X.commerce. Without them, the campaign would not be able to continue inspiring, accelerating and celebrating enterprise in the UK.

  • AXA

    AXA

    AXA is the business insurance sponsor for StartUp Britain.

    The company has years of experience in insuring businesses of all sizes, but they are especially interested in small businesses and start ups. Since that’s what this campaign is all about, we thought they would be a perfect fit. We know you’ll probably have a few questions about what kind of insurance is best for you and your business, so we’re working with AXA to provide the answers. You can find out more, by visiting the Insurance FAQs link. And if you’d like a quote, you can give AXA a call on 0845 366 6481 or visit the website at http://www.axainsurance.com/business/.
