United Growth Whitepaper
Together with The Entrepreneurs Network, our Sumer network released the United Growth Whitepaper, focusing on what SMEs need to prosper. They interviewed over 600 business owners across the UK, asking about the challenges they currently face, expectations of the future and what policies could make their lives easier.
One of the more positive findings is that half of the business owners surveyed are actively focused on growth in the next year.
However, there’s widespread agreement that economic inequality between Britain’s regions is a problem – with those from the North East, Scotland and East of England most likely to agree.
The report concludes with a series of policy recommendations, including:
- Keep business taxes competitive
- Invest in transport infrastructure
- Increase the supply of business premises
- Unleash the next wave of mayoral devolution
- Make Britain open for business.
The SME business community is vital to our economy and we want to see business owners in the UK & Ireland thrive.
