Entrepreneurs are critical to the positive economic development of the UK economy.

Each of these companies was started by an entrepreneur who wished to build their own business. Despite a challenging market and a global pandemic, over 1 million new businesses were started in 2020/2021 and over 800,000 in 2022/2023. This represents the highest rate of growth on record.

For the UK economy to grow, new entrepreneurs need to be encouraged and supported to follow their ambitions.

This is the reason that we have created Smarter Britain. Our objective is to inspire the next generation of British entrepreneurs and support them in developing new businesses.
