Over 80% of all employees in the UK, nearly 30 million people, are employed in small or medium-sized companies (SME’s). 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.
