#SBS is one of the leading small business networks in the UK with over 4,500 members.
Each week, Theo Paphitis welcomes 6 small businesses who tweet, comment or post an image to @TheoPaphitis describing their businesses to the #SBS community. #SBS now runs on X, Instagram and LinkedIn.
#SBS helps small businesses think BIG!
Theo says, “I admire people who have passion and energy. If you cannot bore your friends to death about your own small business then something is seriously wrong. I was struck by the number of business owners on Twitter (now X) who wanted to tell me about their new products and services. Small Business Sunday was born so that people have a specific time slot to post and pitch their ‘sell’ directly to me. #SBS, marking its 15th anniversary in 2025, now runs on X, Instagram and LinkedIn and I am constantly blown away by the depth and quality of the entrants.”
Our July #SBS Winner of the Month is… Rishi Kaushal from The Speech Heroes!
A Dad’s Mission: Empowering Children Through Speech
When his son Aryan began experiencing speech and language delays, this #SBS winning dad felt the overwhelming lack of accessible guidance that many families face. Determined to give Aryan the tools and confidence to find his voice, he created The Speech Heroes®—the world’s first superhero brand designed specifically for the 2 million UK children living with speech and language challenges.
The turning point for their family came from an unexpected place: music. With zero musical background, Rishi wrote a rap song called Speech Bound. When Aryan started repeating the lyrics, it sparked a beautiful breakthrough that led to youth festival performances and inspired a children’s book, The Speech Heroes Vs. The Word Stoppers.
This expanding universe features heroes representing children’s unique strengths and villains representing their daily barriers. The brand is now even developing a communication adventure board game alongside a Specialist Speech and Language Therapist.
The mission is rapidly growing beyond their own family. What began as a “100 Books to 100 Children” summer initiative has already expanded to 230 books. On Saturday, 1st August 2026, the father-son duo will be in Birmingham raising awareness and connecting with families.
