And sooner, rather than later Strategy can be sidetracked in the day to day running of a business, and scaling up takes the back seat as you end up dealing with piles of paperwork, projects going wrong, or dealing with your overflowing inbox. This shows in the statistics – according to the ScaleUp Institute, scaleups bring in £1.3tn of the £1.9tn generated by all UK SMEs. The remainder is brought in by millions of companies not making anywhere near as much of an impact as they could. There’s clearly more than a few secrets business owners need to learn about when it comes to growth. Fortunately, the Festival of Enterprise will reveal them all.

    BCL256 Brexit What Next

    Brexit What Now? BCL256 Where to now and our standing in Europe. On 12th March 2019 the Prime Minister Theresa May’s deal was rejected again. She will ask the EU for a delay to Brexit. But if parliament reject her deal again then she says she will seek a longer extension from the EU – but any delay has to be agreed by the 27 other EU member states. Extending our departure beyond three months would mean that the UK would have to take part in May’s European Parliament elections. As the law hasn’t been changed, we could still technically leave the EU on 29th March 2019. We discuss the effect on UK business and asking if the uncertainty is undermining our forward planning?
