A Nation of Shopkeepers: Supporting Britain's Small Businesses
99% of all UK businesses are small businesses, employing over 13 million people. But since 2024, more of them have seen their revenue shrink than grow. Supporting small business is key not just to our prosperity, but to remaining a country in which hard work pays off.
