With furlough and government support coming to an end, according to some data I read this morning, 1 in 3 UK businesses are due to make redundancies which is just HUGE. In the private sector a wapping 38% and 16% in the public sector.
That is additional to how many people that are currently out of work which is at its all time high!
It is not ALL doom and gloom. Have you always had a business idea or a few business ideas you have always wanted to do? Or not had the time for? Or just not had the knowhow? Or you may already own a business but just have another idea (which is common)?
What a great opportunity to start up now! Companies such as UBER, Whatsapp, AirBnB and GroupOn were all started in the 2008 recession all because they JUST DID IT! And one person or a group of people actually took action and believed in their ideas… or maybe they didn’t have a choice… but whatever it was, it paid off! BIG TIME..
