🌟 SUPPORT YOUR LOCAL BIZ! 🌟
A new survey reveals that 77% of Brits believe small businesses need more love from the government! 🇬🇧 People are calling for lower taxes, slashed energy costs, and less red tape to help local businesses thrive.
Here’s why it matters:
🔹 Small businesses are the lifeblood of our communities, making up over 99% of UK enterprises!
🔹 They bring character, charm, and jobs to our high streets.
🔹 When they prosper, we all benefit with a vibrant community and bustling local economy.
What’s on the wishlist for better support?
🛍️ Lower business rates
🌍 Cheaper energy bills
📑 Reduced bureaucracy
📉 Lower National Insurance
🌱 Eco-friendly grants
📣 Free advertising spaces
Despite some help from the latest Budget, like reduced business rates for small outlets, there’s more to be done. The cost-of-living crisis and online giants like Amazon are still challenging our beloved local shops.
Jon Walker, CEO of AXA Commercial, says: “Public support for small businesses is crucial. A thriving local community benefits everyone, and it’s up to all of us – consumers, government, and councils – to ensure their survival.”
