Proven support for your traders.
Measurable impact for you.
We’re on a mission to help the UK’s high streets thrive—by making it easier for the people behind the shopfronts to succeed.
We work with Councils, Landlords, BIDs and Developers across the UK to deliver smarter support for high street businesses—new and established. Whether you’re aiming to strengthen your local economy, fill vacant units, boost footfall, or transform underused space, we’re here to help you make it happen.
What we do for traders
Our core product, Thriver, is the only AI assistant built specifically for high street entrepreneurs. Like a whole team of helpers, Thriver gets everyday tasks done for them so they can focus on what they’re actually great at – their trade. We can help them to:
- Increase footfall and sales with marketing support
- Improve resilience with financial support
- Optimise cashflow with pricing and product support
- Grow their team with staffing support
…and much more
It’s the kind of service usually reserved for big brands—now made accessible, affordable and scalable for independents.
What we do for you
We deliver fully managed programmes of support with Thriver at the core—so you can back your local businesses without adding to your workload.
You get:
Structured engagement with existing or aspiring traders
Targeted promotion and onboarding campaigns
Access to performance data and impact reporting
A proven delivery team working locally on your behalf
Clear outcomes aligned to your place or property strategy
We’ve worked with councils, BIDs, landlords and asset managers across the UK—and we understand how to balance public benefit with commercial return.
Our programme models
With SaveTheHighStreet and Thriver, we can deliver scalable programmes that meet your local goals:
Accelerators
For existing traders to strengthen and grow.
Help your traders trade better. Accelerators provide ongoing practical and strategic support through Thriver — funded for an extended free period. We can also help you reach businesses, with engagement campaigns, cohort management and more.
Perfect for:
Councils investing in local business resilience
Landlords looking to reduce churn and support tenants
BIDs seeking practical support for levy payers
Incubators
For new traders testing ideas in vacant spaces
Repopulate empty units with promising local entrepreneurs. We combine targeted outreach, rent-free periods (in collaboration with landlords), and Thriver-led support to de-risk new tenancies and test ideas in real spaces.
Perfect for:
Landlords seeking activation and long-term pipeline
Councils driving inclusive local growth
Developers showcasing innovation and social value
Anchors
For larger scale place transformations
Turn underused assets—like ex-department stores or large voids—into curated, multi-tenant destinations. We can run campaigns to identify tenants and support existing markets, filling space with businesses backed by Thriver operations.
Perfect for:
Property professionals with big spaces to fill
Local authorities leading high street regeneration projects
