Analysis shows that one in every five jobs in the UK was created by “high growth small businesses”* between 2015 and 2106.
The Small Business Report 2018*, produced by the Centre for Economic and Business Research (Cebr), highlights the significant economic value of the UK’s fastest growing smaller companies. It claims that, by helping 22,000 fast growing small businesses flourish, the UK could close its productivity gap with economic rivals.
“A tiny group of UK companies are punching well above their weight showing they can be a significant force in driving the country’s economic growth, increasing UK productivity, skills and employment,” Cebr says.
The research found that targeting policy at fast growing small businesses by improving access to finance and skills and investing in digital infrastructure could deliver a growth dividend.
