About Basekit

Originating from a tool developed for their own web design agency, BaseKit was founded in 2008 by Simon Best, Richard Best, and Richard Fernandez to streamline website creation. The founders' background in web design directly informed the product's development, aiming to create a more efficient process for building sites for local businesses. The company's trajectory was significantly boosted after winning Europe's Seedcamp in 2009, which led to its first major investment and a move to the tech hub of Bristol, UK.

Read full description

BaseKit operates on a white-label, software-as-a-service (SaaS) business model, providing its platform to a global network of partners, primarily in the telecommunications and web hosting sectors. These partners, which include major players like Telefónica, Etisalat, and Liquid Intelligent Technologies, then offer the software to their own small and medium-sized business (SMB) customers. Revenue is generated through these partnerships, with BaseKit providing a platform that helps its partners increase customer loyalty and reduce churn—a 42% reduction was noted with Telefónica. This B2B2C approach allows BaseKit to reach millions of end-users across more than 40 markets.

The company's core offering is a suite of digital tools designed for small businesses, available for partners to resell individually or as a package. This includes a no-code, mobile-first website builder (BaseKit Site), an e-commerce platform for selling physical goods (BaseKit Store), and an appointment scheduling tool (BaseKit Bookings). The platform is engineered for simplicity, enabling users to create and manage their online presence, including websites and online stores, directly from their mobile devices. Features are geared towards the needs of small businesses, including inventory alerts, store analytics, unlimited product variations, and integrations with payment processors like PayPal and Stripe. Recently, the company has begun to integrate AI features for content and product description generation and has made its Bookings software available as a standalone product to reach new market segments.
