Great Britain continues to thrive as a nation of entrepreneurs. In 2024 alone, nearly 850,000 new businesses were launched, contributing to a total of over 5.6 million companies, most of them small enterprises. This speaks volumes about the UK’s dynamic start-up culture and can-do spirit.
But while launching a business is exciting, sustaining and scaling it is a far greater challenge. Start-ups made up 46% of all company insolvencies in the UK in 2024. Around half of all new businesses fail within the first three years, and fewer than one in four will successfully scale, depending on how success is defined.
From rising costs and economic uncertainty to global trade tensions, today’s entrepreneurs face formidable headwinds. But tough doesn’t mean impossible.
