Since the start of 2020, we’ve been rapidly evolving and expanding. Farillio now also provides expert knowledge and step-by-step guidance to thousands of adults and families, covering situations arising from life stresses, life admin and legal issues.  And we’ve been evolving again into licensing our platform technology to professional firms, in-house teams and other enterprises, who can use our solution for their own knowledge-management, training, and risk-management communications to their own customers in turn – providing them with the means to offer a first class, digital customer-experience at a fraction of the cost creating and managing their own equivalents would require.

This year’s list has also identified an at-home care service, digital wills provider and a petcare app as being the most disruptive businesses of the past year.

CEO and Founder of Farillio, Merlie Calvert, comments: “We are absolutely delighted to have made the prestigious Startups100 list for the third year running, and are thrilled that we have jumped 30 places to #36. Small businesses need business support now, more than ever, and we continue to deliver on our mission of increasing support wherever it is needed and however times change; we now have more experts on board, we’re launching new tools and features regularly and our content has increased by 36% over the last 12 months, including a separate product for families, households and individuals”.

Managing Editor of Startups.co.uk, Richard Parris, comments: “After a particularly difficult year for businesses we are happier than ever to celebrate UK success stories. Every year the Startups 100 shows how UK businesses are responding to the issues, concerns and trends of the time. Entrepreneurs solve problems - whether that is the home care crisis being tackled by businesses like Cera and Birdie, diversity in hiring being challenged by Multiverse or the recent pet boom being capitalised on by Vet AI - you can see UK businesses innovating to meet the challenges of the time - and being very successful whilst doing it!”
