Whether you're an aspiring entrepreneur or have spent years building a business, you could do worse than to hear the stories of those who've been through it all before.

So we've put together a list of the UK's best and brightest at building businesses to get you inspired – from those who are near the beginning of the process, to some of the UK's most experienced entrepreneurs.

Our entrepreneurs list is based on active users of Twitter and their Klout scores, which takes into account various metrics from Twitter, Facebook, Google Plus, LinkedIn, Instagram, Foursquare and Wikipedia.

This list is no longer being updated. It was last updated on Friday 15th July 2016.
