Showcasing contemporary small businesses and innovative startups that are defining the way we live, work & play

See our FAQs below!

THINGS WE GET ASKED A LOT…

WHAT IS CACTUS22?

cactus22 is a FREE showcase for the UK’s coolest and most innovative startups, entrepreneurs and dynamic small businesses. It provides a beautifully designed platform to feature, grow, learn and connect. In 2021 we will be expanding the site and introducing the Resources & Stories sections!

WHY SHOULD I GET INVOLVED?

I’ll keep this short but sweet! cactus22 is a fantastic opportunity for small businesses/startups/brands to be seen and celebrated for free, each week we post 3 of our favourite cactus businesses on our Instagram for all the world to see. The highly anticipated introduction of our Resources and Stories sections will see a huge source of tips, how-tos, interviews and knowledge for all businesses to benefit from. This will, of course, also be free!

CAN I UPDATE MY PAGE?

Of course! We know that you might, in future, release new ranges/collection, do some re-branding or might just want a refresh. This is totally fine - email us with your new content and we’ll update it as soon as we can.

WHY IS IT FREE - AND, MORE IMPORTANTLY…WILL IT ALWAYS BE FREE?

Naturally, we get asked this A LOT. It is completely free to be featured in the cactus22 showcase - the reason being that we want to list all the current businesses we think should be here and keep the site highly curated at the same time. This will not change, it will always be free!

HOW DO I KNOW YOU’RE LEGIT?

We completely understand why some people may think “Hmm…this must have some kind of catch?”. As you can see, there are no expenses, signups or contracts involved. We feature and work with some fantastic trusted brands & businesses who will vouch for us! Check out our Instagram Mentions to see some of the lovely people talking about us! Alternatively, feel free to get in touch and ask as many questions as you’d like, we’re always happy to chat.

WHAT’S WITH THE NAME?

We started using this phrase around our office - firstly we have loads of cacti - but also as a small growing business constantly came across catch-22 situations - hence one day we just started using the phrase cactus22. It seemed just right for this project.

WHO ARE CACTUS22?

cactus22 is a project by David&George  - the specialists in beautiful, cost effective Squarespace websites for small businesses and entrepreneurs. We are a dedicated team of 7 people sharing their passion for startups, the digital world and helping/supporting growing businesses. We are here to be seen, just like you!

HOW CAN I TELL YOU ABOUT AN AMAZING BUSINESS? (AND CAN I REFER MYSELF?)

We always welcome suggestions for other businesses who should be showcased on cactus22 - this includes self-referrals, get yourself out there! You can email us at hello@cactus22.co.uk, or contact us using our online form. cactus22 Project Manager, Sonja, will get back to you as soon as possible.
