Showcasing Brand Values

By supporting a young driver, a business demonstrates its commitment to nurturing talent, promoting sportsmanship, and investing in the future. This strengthens the company's reputation as not solely profit-driven but genuinely cares about fostering potential.

Localised Marketing

With numerous regional events across the UK, sponsoring a youth driver ensures that a business's branding consistently reaches local audiences. Every time the young racer hits the track, it's the sponsor's logo that shines, leaving an indelible mark on spectators' memories.

Media Attention

The rise of a promising motorsport talent often garners media interest. Local newspapers, television broadcasts, and even national motorsport publications might pick up the story, amplifying the sponsor's visibility.

Networking Opportunities

Motorsport events bring together a mix of families, other businesses, and motorsport enthusiasts. Sponsors can leverage these gatherings for networking, forging invaluable partnerships or even gaining new clientele.

Affordability

Compared to other sports, youth motorsport sponsorship can be relatively cost-effective. Yet, the returns, in terms of brand visibility and goodwill, can be tremendous.

Developing Brand Loyalty

Today's youth are tomorrow's consumers. Engaging them at a young age through their passions — like motorsport — can pave the way for enduring brand loyalty.

A Message from an Accountant

If a business decides to sponsor a sports team or a sportsperson they can expect to benefit from the following for their business:

Publicity for their business through having their logo appear on equipment leading to improved brand awareness.

Publicity through media interest and images when covering the sport concerned and in programmes at events.

Potential attendance at sporting events leading to opportunities to network with other sponsors and for client entertainment purposes.

Accounting treatment

Payments for sponsorship are treated as a business overhead, similar to other advertising and promotional costs. As such, these costs are tax deductible meaning that the company can reduce its profits by the sponsorship amount and thus save Corporation Tax, which currently is 25%, with a reduced rate of 19% for companies with taxable profit below £50,000 each year (NOTE: Seek your own professional accounting advice).
