Congratulations to the finalists for 2011:
Most outstanding fledgling business
A start-up business which is under two years young, smart, quirky, or just very professionally set up.
Most outstanding transitional business

Most outstanding triumph over adversity
A business which has succeeded in spite of challenges beyond the usual.
Most outstanding lifestyle business
A business which epitomises the ability to integrate business and lifestyle, with the owner(s) to take advantage of its flexibility to fit income generation around spending time on family or leisure activities or other pursuits.
Most innovative business
Not necessarily the same thing, this is a business which either demonstrates a new or clever way of going about things, or is quirky from the ground up while incorporating great business principles.
Most inspired use of technology
A business which leverages technology in many guises to enhance efficiency, mobility and keep overheads to a minimum.
Most inspired use of marketing
A business which punches above its weight in terms of getting the word out, achieving profile and attracting business.

Winners and the Supreme Award winner will be announced on this site on 5 October at 11 a.m. via webcast.
