“Simon helps people start their dream business, Tradestars helps them grow it”.
Tradestars, the flexible workspace provider for ambitious entrepreneurs, creators, and growing businesses with three locations across London, is proud to announce a new strategic partnership with esteemed entrepreneur, investor, and startup advocate, Simon Squibb.
Simon Squibb, founder of HelpBnk – a free mentorship and community platform designed to help people discover and pursue their business dreams – and champion for early-stage entrepreneurs, will work closely with Tradestars. The partnership will help to elevate Tradestars’ mission of empowering people to start and scale businesses without the traditional barriers of cost, risk, and inflexible workspace lease commitments.
The collaboration connects Squibb’s founder centric storytelling with the Tradestars ecosystem, shining a light on the people behind the companies. His perspective captures the challenges, ambition and creativity that define the community and reinforces Tradestars role in supporting modern founders.
The collaboration will also include special rates for Simon’s community, offering half price workspace for six months, alongside £1,000 to help with set up costs.
Squibb’s standing in the startup ecosystem and his commitment to helping entrepreneurs overcome real world barriers resonate with Tradestars’ diverse and fast growing Member community, which includes everything from beauty businesses and artisan tattooists to TikTok agencies and media production companies.
“I believe we’re returning to a time when we value genuine connections with people and communities. Tradestars is for founders and understands exactly what it is like to be a founder,” commented Simon Squibb.
Roy Shaby founder and CEO Tradestars said: “Tradestars was built by entrepreneurs for entrepreneurs. We know firsthand how hard it is to find a suitable home for a startup or growing business. The traditional workspace market doesn’t understand what modern entrepreneurs need. We have created more than four walls. We have built an ecosystem that supports how companies need to operate today.
Partnering with Simon isn’t just about inspiration; it’s about giving our Members the practical tools and the platform they need to scale without compromise.”
The partnership begins in December 2025.
