The UK’s funniest small business name has been revealed after a public vote crowned one small business with ‘Britain’s Best Small Business Name’. Perky Blenders, a London-based specialty coffee roasters, beat over 1,500 punny-named small businesses to be presented with the hotly contested accolade.
The husband and wife duo picked up 16% of the total votes (685 out of 4,402 votes) and will receive a £2,500 grant from Simply Business, aimed at supporting business growth. The competition by small business insurance provider Simply Business was launched to celebrate the wit, creativity, and humour of the nation’s small business owners.
It comes as a recent study of 2,000 consumers from Simply Business revealed how a witty or funny business name can play a huge part in helping small businesses succeed, with third (28%) of people stating they’d be more likely to shop at a small or local business with a funny or witty business name compared to those without. Two thirds (64%) of people would also be more likely to notice a small or local business with a funny or witty business name.
