Every day, business owners like Jess quietly change lives in their community. Most of it never makes the headlines.

Jess could've easily taken a steady office job with holiday pay and predictable hours. Instead, she's spent 6 years running The Happy Movement, bringing motion, rhythm, laughter, and genuine connection to care homes and community spaces 🫶

As she puts it, the work won't make her a millionaire. But going 'beyond business' to bring joy is what truly matters.

Stories like Jess's are everywhere once you start looking. We'll be spotlighting more business owners going above and beyond over the coming months 👀

Every business owner’s journey is built on defining moments

When Wycliffe Sande held the first bag of Blue Turaco coffee off the line, it marked a massive milestone.

He went from picking coffee cherries in Uganda as an 8-year-old to launching the UK’s first farmer-owned coffee brand, now supporting local farmers and feeding 1,200 school children daily.

On the rugby pitch and in business, getting through tough moments takes reliable backing. That’s why we're proud to be entering our 5th season as the official business finance partner of PREM Rugby.

This season, we ran a competition asking small business owners to share the moments that shaped them.

Wycliffe’s story won us over. To celebrate his business, we gave him hospitality at a Gallagher PREM game and commissioned a short video to showcase his story.

Check out the video below to hear his defining moment or read our blog to learn more https://bit.ly/4qjSnoW

Want to avoid paying months of extra interest on your business loan? 💸

If you can, the easiest way is paying it off early when your cash flow is strong.

We charge 0 early settlement fees, meaning you can stop future interest from building up the moment your balance is cleared.

If you want to clear your balance early, you're always flexible to do so with no penalty fees.
