Welcome to Business XL Magazine media information

Business XL is written by leaders for leaders. The magazine is a fount of inside information and knowledge, which can only be delivered by people who have started, bought and grown their own business.

Many of the features are based on detailed, in-house research among AIM, PLUS and venture capital-backed companies only available to Business XL readers. This research gives readers a head start on raising venture capital and floating successfully on the stock market.

Regular features include 'Trailblazers' (interviews with seasoned entrepreneurs and individuals renowned for backing growing companies), 'Spending it' (entrepreneurs reveal how they enjoy their wealth), and 'What I wish I'd known'.

Business XL has two outstanding regular columnists:

Chris Ingram, a serial entrepreneur, offers practical tips and guidance on how to make as big a capital gain as possible from the success of a growing business, while Michael Jackson, a venture capitalist, provides ideas on how to persuade investors to take CEOs and owner managers seriously.

Business XL delivers:

  • Inside knowledge
  • In-depth research
  • Outstanding business columnists
  • Unique deal listings covering venture capital, AIM and PLUS deals
