Small Business

Whilst researching the net I’ve come across some interesting starchiest on small business in the UK. These stats taken from the federation of small business the website is www.fbs.org.uk . Here are a few I found the most interesting.
• There are 4.8 million small businesses in the UK (up from 4 million in 2003)
• 3 million businesses are sole proprietors
• 5 per cent employ less than 5 people
• Over 500,000 people start up their own business every year
• 33 per cent of all UK enterprises are in London and the South-East
• Small and medium-sized firms employ more than 59.4 per cent of the private sector workforce
