Using our polling and our expert interviews, we come to a judgement about what to do to combat these risks. This is our central guidance. It is not advice as we cannot cater to the individual circumstances of each business and it cannot be relied upon for any investment, financing, compliance, tax or legal decisions. However, our central guidance is a common sense answer to the problems SMEs might face in the year ahead.

We bring in experts and veterans of entrepreneurship to discuss the big issues facing the UK business environment. They help shape our opinions on specific matters and are a key component of our event.

We look at macro economic data, agendas of global summits, and new laws to give our clients an insight of what’s going on. In partnership with Yonder (previously Populus) we conduct a poll to assess the entrepreneurial appetite of the nation. We publish the polling results after the Summit which this year will be held on 21st February 2023.
