Free entry and a genuinely UK-wide audience of small business owners and entrepreneurs, many making a day trip to ExCeL purely for the show. Fixed-fare transfers, local or long-distance, for either day.
11–12 November 2026
The Business Show draws small business owners, entrepreneurs and start-up founders from across the country to ExCeL over two days — a broader, more nationwide crowd than a typical trade show, many making a day trip or overnight stay purely for it.
All dates shown, same fixed fare and pickup process for each.
Two days of talks, exhibitors and networking — entry free to register.
A genuinely UK-wide audience rather than a mostly-local one — day trips from well outside London are common.
Fixed fare either way, with group options for a small business team attending together.

FAQ
Entry itself is typically free to register in advance — which is part of why it draws such a broad, UK-wide audience of small business owners and entrepreneurs rather than a purely corporate crowd.
For a two-day free show, yes — ExCeL gets busy and the show draws attendees from right across the country making a day trip or overnight stay specifically for it.
Book either or both days — the fixed fare is the same whichever day, or days, you're attending.
Confirmed at booking based on the entrance closest to where the show is running that year.
Yes — MPV and 8-seater minibus options mean a small business team can travel together on one fare rather than several individual bookings.
Every Rushxo pickup includes 60 minutes of complimentary waiting time from your scheduled slot, at no extra charge, and your fixed fare does not change if your visit runs longer than planned.
Book either day, solo or as a small business team.
