According to recent data, some 4.23 million adults in the UK are full-time self-employed and have found great professional and personal success in running their own businesses. These figures continued to rise during the pandemic, where job instability encouraged many to take the leap and turn their great business idea into a functioning business model.
However, running a successful business for years (or decades) requires more than a moment of ingenuity. You have to have a strong plan in place that allows you to grow sustainably, especially if you want to ensure that your business is more than a flash in the pan (50% of small businesses' fail' within five years).

Consumers are also gradually becoming more eco-conscious. As a result, they are more likely to support businesses or brands with strong environmental policies in place, whether this relates to waste disposal or packaging solutions. As a result, this is the perfect time to go about making your business more sustainable. For example, this could include switching to renewable energy sources in your office or workspace. This comes with the added benefit of helping you to cut down on your spending and monthly expenses. Include a section on your website that details the changes you are making so that customers can see from the outset the work you are carrying out.
