Small businesses are the audience for a huge share of B2B marketing — banking, insurance, accounting software, telecoms, payments — and they are badly served by stock imagery that shows a glass tower and a boardroom. This collection shows independent businesses as they are: the owner behind the counter, the workshop floor, the café before opening, the van being loaded.

What you will find
Retail and hospitality, trades and workshops, makers and market stalls, professional services in small offices, family firms and start-ups. Diverse owners and staff, real premises, and plenty of frames with space for a message.
Choosing an image
Match the sector loosely rather than exactly: a florist or a bike shop reads as “small business” to almost everyone, whereas a very specific trade can narrow the audience. Look for eye contact and activity for advertising, and quieter environmental frames for reports and web pages. Model-released images are marked on the image page and are cleared for advertising.
Licensing and price
Every image is covered by our Standard royalty-free licence from 1 credit (£6), downloadable in full resolution the moment you check out.
