The UK Business Community
Entrepreneurs are critical to the positive economic development of the UK economy. Over 80% of all employees in the UK, nearly 30 million people, are employed in small or medium sized companies. 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. This represents the highest rate of growth on record. For the UK economy to continue to grow it is key that new entrepreneurs are encouraged and supported to follow their ambitions.
This is the reason that we have created Smarter Britain. The objective is to inspire the next generation of British entrepreneurs and support them to create new businesses. This one stop solution for access to advice, mentoring and funding in a structured and simple form makes starting a business simple – no jargon, no assumed knowledge, no barriers.

John Brian – Brian’s Boots
I registered with Companies House on 20 February 2020. I wanted the founding date to be memorable, but of course, no- one had any idea how memorable 2020 was going to be! I’d had the idea for a while. I was a teacher for 8 years. Like most teachers, I was really passionate and it was my vocation in life. Unfortunately, though, I got glandular fever, which then became an autoimmune illness. Every time I fell ill, my body would shut down.
