Sisters Sam Roblett and Jane Elliott have launched an international vegan business directory to promote collaboration and support within the vegan community.
The directory already has over 800 listings and boasts 150 categories; these include 12 main categories, such as Food & Drink and Beauty & Cosmetics, along with subcategories like Catering, Fast Food, and Haircare Products. It is free to add a listing or view the directory.
Sam Roblett previously launched the Vegan Business Networking Facebook and LinkedIn groups, which now count over 6,500 vegan business owners and entrepreneurs among their members. She was inspired to start the groups after attending an expensive networking event where no vegan options were available, leading her to seek out other like-minded business owners.
Following the success of the groups, Roblett enlisted her sister, Jane Elliott, to help develop the vegan business directory. Existing directories often required payment or were specific to certain countries or sectors, so Elliott partnered with her son’s business, Bespoke Software, to develop a directory that is accessible to all.

“Strength in numbers”
As well as the directory, the Vegan Business Networking website features helpful articles covering topics such as how to start a vegan business and how to form a marketing strategy. Additionally, there is a list of vegan resources, including news sites, animal advocacy groups, health resources, and documentaries.
Other resources for vegan businesses include:
- The Vegan Business School — Offers online courses to help participants get their businesses off the ground.
- Vegan Business Tribe — An online business support community.
- Vegan Women Summit — Brings together women leaders in vegan business.
“As we reach out to more vegans, we realize that collaboration and support for each other is vitally important,” said Roblett. “There is strength in numbers. We work together to plant seeds and grow a thriving plant-based compassionate world. We can’t wait to welcome you to our communities, so join us now.”
