From Adversity to Impact
Imran Savas wasn’t born into opportunity.
Raised by a single mother in a working-class council home in the UK, with Mauritian roots and limited means, Imran grew up surrounded by economic hardship, social exclusion and systemic inequality.
Free school meals weren’t a bonus — they were a lifeline. But even as a child, Imran often chose to go hungry rather than face the stigma. He didn’t want to be seen as different, and the shame of accepting help in front of his peers was sometimes harder to swallow than the hunger itself.
Opportunities were few. And role models who looked like him — or understood his world — were almost non-existent. He wasn’t inspired by the leaders he saw growing up. Instead, he realised early on that if the system wasn’t built for him, he’d have to build something better — for himself and for others like him.
Because even then, Imran believed one thing:
Limitation isn’t something you inherit — it’s just where you start.
Through resilience, curiosity and an unshakable sense of purpose, Imran refused to be defined by his circumstances. He didn’t follow the path laid out for him — he carved a new one. One that others could follow, too.
His mission has never changed:
To unlock human potential, remove unnecessary struggle and create access to success — no matter your background, postcode, or starting point.
Tape UK: A Smarter Way to Grow
His journey began in accounting and finance, where he worked closely with countless start-ups and small businesses. Again and again, he saw the same story unfold: brilliant, ambitious founders trapped in survival mode — trying to juggle everything on their own.
They were talented and driven but exhausted. And when they finally sought help, they faced expensive agencies, unreliable freelancers, and service providers that didn’t understand small business realities.
Imran realised what was missing: a single, integrated solution built around the needs of real entrepreneurs.
So in 2019, he took a bold leap. Leaving behind a stable and successful career in accounting and finance, he launched Tape UK with no clients, no funding and no partners or team — just a clear, compelling vision:
To make expert business support accessible, affordable and genuinely effective for small business owners.
What Tape UK Does
Tape UK is a multi-award-winning platform offering everything a small business needs — all in one place.

Operating with a fully in-house, UK-based team — no freelancers, no outsourcing — Tape UK delivers affordable, high-quality support under one roof.
Unlike traditional agencies or marketplaces, clients only pay for the services they need — with transparent pricing and seamless delivery from start to finish.
More than just a service provider, Tape UK is a trusted growth partner — helping small business owners scale, save time, and reduce costs by outsourcing to a experienced team they can rely on.
Impact & Recognition
Under Imran’s leadership, Tape UK has:
More Than a Business — A Force for Good
Imran built Tape UK with philanthropy embedded in its core. Every invoice contributes to meaningful social impact, including:
#Individuality – Championing diverse entrepreneurs and underrepresented voices
#Superheroes – Reframing everyday business owners as role models
#BreadTogether – Tackling food insecurity through community-led action
#BeyondLabels – Challenging stereotypes around what success “should” look like
Every invoice contributes to something bigger than business. We’re building legacies, not just companies.
From TEDx to TED Global
In less than a year of launching Tape UK, Imran was invited to speak at TEDx without applying to get on the prestigious platform. His talk, “Leaders of Tomorrow,” struck a global chord and was later promoted to the main TED platform — placing him alongside names like Bill Gates, Simon Sinek and Mel Robbins.
Imran has also featured by BBC, ITV, TED, Islam Channel, M&S, The Sunday Times, and more, recognised for his unapologetically human approach to leadership, entrepreneurship, and equity.
His message was clear: Leadership isn’t a job title—it’s the courage to lift others through trust.
