EB100 extends 2027 entry deadline ahead of fifth anniversary

Entries for the Elite Business Top 100 (EB100) 2027 will remain open until 13th November, giving UK businesses extra time to apply as the ranking celebrates its fifth anniversary.

The anniversary event will take place at Easthampstead Park in Wokingham on 10th March 2027, where this year’s winners will join guests and EB100 alumni. NatWest Accelerator has also been named an official partner, supporting the programme’s focus on recognising and backing ambitious SMEs.

Scott English, founder of the EB100 Awards, said the anniversary called for an exceptional celebration: “We’re incredibly excited to celebrate our fifth anniversary at such an incredible venue. It was only fitting we upped the ante for our alumni and new members of the EB100 family. We’ve seen so many incredible businesses come through the EB100 rankings with many of them going on to be recognised in the Sunday Times 100 Fastest Growing Businesses. EB100 is always a special event, one where we celebrate the very best of Britain’s businesses, and this year, the venue will offer an extra level of celebration.”

Darren Pirie, head of accelerator and partnerships at NatWest, said: “Small businesses are the backbone of the UK economy, and we’re proud to support the ambition, innovation and resilience they demonstrate every day. Partnering with the Elite Business Top 100 provides the opportunity to recognise and celebrate the outstanding achievements of entrepreneurs across the UK. Through NatWest Accelerator, we help businesses access the expertise, networks and connections they need to grow, scale and unlock their potential. We’re looking forward to seeing this year’s entries and celebrating the successes of the businesses helping to drive the UK economy forward.”

An independent panel of business leaders and industry experts will assess entries on innovation, growth, leadership, employee wellbeing, community impact and future ambition. The ranking will be revealed in early 2027 and published in the annual Elite Business Top 100 Guide.

Established businesses and first-time entrants are both encouraged to apply. Selection offers national recognition, publicity and networking opportunities, as well as lifelong membership of the EB100 alumni community.
