blip champions the Umi FUEL roadshow

FUEL Roadshow is a national roadshow designed to help business leaders get clear, get ready, and secure the right finance (investment, grants, or loans) to stabilise or grow their business.

We are happy to be a roadshow champion for Umi for their FUEL roadshow. FUEL is a business finance and funding roadshow visiting seven UK cities in 2026. Designed to cut through jargon and help business leaders get clear, get ready, and get connected directly with investors, lenders, and funding experts in just one-day.

For a single ticket, you’re not just buying entry, you’re accessing a complete package designed to move your business funding plans forward. You’ll have a personalised experience, with tailored ‘Meet the Money’ sessions, matching you with funders who can support your specific business needs and arranging a 1-2-1 meeting on the day. With real funding opportunities, sessions that create action, and stories that inspire, can you afford to miss this event?

Whether you’re just starting out, reviewing your finances, or planning your next move, FUEL connects you with the support that drives your business forward, with:

·       Pre-matched meetings: Sit down with funders who want to work with businesses like yours.

·       Actionable workshops: Leave with clear steps and useful tools.

·       Real success stories: Hear from founders who’ve made it happen.

FUEL is backed by UMi (who’ve unlocked over £1 billion for UK SMEs) and national partners including the Minister for Small Business, NatWest, Office of the Small Business Commissioner, CBI, and British Business Bank.

Each event connects more than 250 business leaders with funders, investors, and experts who turn opportunities into action, not just in theory but in practice.
