We’re passionate about entrepreneurship and helping businesses thrive.

Community

Community Engagement creates positive impact
on regeneration and
social conditions.

At the Hoxton Mix, our mission is to make starting a business accessible for everyone and to provide a workspace which has a positive impact on regeneration by responding to local economic and social conditions.

We believe small and medium enterprises (SMEs), can assist economic development, community engagement and local
physical regeneration.

Local economy

99% of all London businesses are SMEs

SMEs make up 99% of all London businesses and account for over 40% of its employment 40% of its employment. When performed correctly, SMEs provide sustainable employment, allow community ties and can energise neighbourhoods.

Sadly, SME failure rates are high (60% of London startups don’t last five years), and high-growth SMEs are often more likely to create value for investors than have a positive impact on the local economy.

Better together

We aim to bring together young people, entrepreneurs and established companies

We consider a way to improve failure rates is by combining young people, entrepreneurs and established companies and targeting sustainable growth across a more significant number of businesses.

Although much of the press coverage around startups are often tech-oriented, from our decade of experience and helping over 15 thousand businesses, technology represents only a portion of London’s startup scene.

Strength is our diversity, and for Islington London Borough Council, it gives the possibility of working with a community workspace that is responsive to an area’s economic and social needs.
