Happiness & Heartbreak

Read the survey and let us know what you think…

We’re finally there, with the Conservative/Liberal Democrat coalition marking a new era for British politics.

Whatever you think of the outcome we are in for some interesting times ahead – particularly as government spending is squeezed (not good for suppliers to the public sector) and the tax system is overhauled. But how do the new policies of this coalition government match the views expressed by owner/managers in our SME survey – Happiness and Heartbreak?

This exciting new survey focuses on the experience of business owners and uncovers many key findings including:

• 56% of business owners said that an increase in Income Tax would heavily impact their motivation to grow their business.
• During the recession the banks sought to restrict or reduce access to credit facilities to 20% of businesses.
• 68% of the businesses surveyed had to take action to avoid making redundancies over the last year.
• 84% of business owners would recommend running a business to others.
