The Business Banana

Running a Business Is Hard Enough

Let us handle the web design, IT, marketing and compliance — so you can focus on the business itself.

We help businesses grow up — without
losing their sense of humour.

The Business Banana is a UK-based consultancy built for businesses who want expert support without the stuffy jargon. We work with start-ups, scale-ups and established companies across the UK to sort out the things that actually move the needle — from your online presence and systems, to compliance, marketing and day-to-day operations. 

We’re not a “one size fits all” agency. Every business we work with gets a plan built around where they are now and where they want to be — whether that’s a brand-new business setup, a website that finally works as hard as you do, or making sure your business isn’t quietly breaking GDPR rules without knowing it. 

Straightforward advice. Practical solutions. Real people behind it. That’s The Business Banana.
