What is Start to Scale?

Start to Scale supercharges and supports the UK's start-ups and scale-ups by providing access to essential resources and insights from key stakeholders in the business community, as well as in-person market square events. Together, we can achieve more.

There is no one-size-fits-all solution for growing your business. For that reason, it's important for start-ups and scale-ups to have access to experienced, reliable advice from experts embedded within the community.  

Our corporate lawyers have created a series of insightful guides, which provide the building blocks to successfully scale your business.

The British Private Equity & Venture Capital Association have released revised model documents for early-stage investments. Our corporate finance lawyers have created a set of videos highlighting what investors and founders need to know.

Our Start to Scale social event series brings international investors, scale-ups, and the business community together to focus on supporting — and celebrating — the next generation of UK scale-ups.

What is the Start to Scale Hub?

Our Start to Scale Hub helps universities, incubators, accelerators, and select companies create template legal agreements for their start-up businesses in minutes by completing a simple online questionnaire.
