It’s been a challenging few years for everyone and the retail sector has been impacted massively since the initial lockdown of 2020.

The Federation of Small Business suggests there were 5.9 million small businesses at the start of 2020 and SMEs account for three fifths of the employment and around half of turnover in the UK private sector. Small Businesses are a vital part of the UK economy and have faced a challenging year. (Figures obtained from the Department for Business, Innovation & Skills).
