UMi is an employee-owned business that makes it easier for businesses to do more and go further. It does this by finding and packaging the best information, expertise, and finance so that businesses can get more of what they want – whether that’s more customers, funding, talent or simply precious time.
Since 2007, UMi has helped more than 450,000 businesses across the UK to make better business decisions, more quickly, by combining digital tools and resources with real-world advice and events and using the latest technology to ensure what they do is focused on the individual.
The company rebranded in 2018 to UMi (pronounced oo-me), which comes from the abbreviated form of Ursa Minor – a constellation explorers and pioneers have been using for navigation over centuries.
