What does the Autumn Budget really mean for small business owners? 👀💸
The latest Budget brings a mixed bag (or briefcase...💼) of cost pressures and strategic opportunities for small businesses. Higher wages, rising dividend taxes and tougher Corporation Tax penalties will all affect small businesses. But there’s good news too: lower business rates and fully-funded apprenticeships for under-25s.
🗣️ Here's what our CEO Tom Platt thinks:
"Small business owners are forced to navigate rising costs, shifting rules and tougher penalties and are often spending more time managing these issues than doing what they love. There are some welcome steps in this Budget but the overall picture is still challenging for anyone trying to build something on their own.
