Is HubSpot Right for Your Small Business?
For many UK small businesses, HubSpot is a strong choice: you can start free for up to 2 users and grow on one platform. Starter is currently £7 per seat a month on a limited time offer, and it suits businesses that want sales, marketing and service in one place. If you run Sage or Xero, check how HubSpot will connect to it before you choose.

Your CRM should know what customers buy.
