"In the months leading up to the 2025 Autumn budget, % of leaders doubted that it would bring the support they needed - and many still question if government action will go far enough to drive long-term growth. Rising costs and unpredictable inflation have made it harder for business owners to plan, and many now find themselves concentrating on keeping cash flow steady to protect the progress they've already made."
"The way smaller businesses think about technology is changing. It now sits at the centre of how they operate and compete, shaping everything from the services they offer to the experience they deliver. But turning that ambition into reality isn't easy. Research shows that % of digital transformation efforts fail, often because smaller firms don't have the time or in-house expertise to manage them."
Small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) make up a large share of UK businesses and contribute about half of private-sector turnover. Confidence in the sector has weakened over the past year, with many leaders doubting that the 2025 Autumn budget will provide needed support and questioning whether government action will drive long-term growth. Rising costs and unpredictable inflation have complicated planning, causing business owners to prioritize cash-flow stability to protect progress. Technology is increasingly central to SME operations and customer experience, but many digital transformation efforts fail because firms lack time and in-house expertise. Managed service providers (MSPs) offer guidance and practical support to help SMEs embed technology and create space for growth.
