A number of apps and platforms have sprung up in recent years offering on-demand access to particular services, but rather than limit itself to one, 2015 Startups 100-listed Bizzby gives its users access to “any” professional service “at the tap of a button”.

Through the app or website, users simply input their postcode and what they require to receive professional services – including everything from plumbing and electrics to health and beauty, personal training and gardening – to their door within 60 minutes.

Professional individuals and businesses also benefit from Bizzby by partnering with the platform to open up new opportunities for work and revenue – the company claims to now be helping more than 10,000 small businesses every week find new jobs. Previously only available in London, the team of 15 launched across the UK in May 2016 and has increased its supplier network from just 500 to more than 25,000.

Currently focused on reinvesting all its profits into technology and growth, founder Rohan Sinclair Luvaglio says the firm is building a number of partnerships with big retailers and property companies to offer them access to its services. With the on-demand sector continuing to grow, Bizzby’s broader approach makes it a clear standout in an increasingly crowded space.
