Let’s face it – 2019 is, by all accounts, set to be a defining time for start-ups across the country. the ongoing political melodrama of Brexit has intensified over the past couple of months, and despite the official withdrawal date of 29 March, business leaders are still no clearer on how this political and economic transition will be managed.

Should this be a cause for concern? While it does make it difficult for small companies to plan ahead for the future, it’s important not to overlook the UK’s established presence as a hub for innovation and entrepreneurship. The country is still Europe’s leading destination for global tech investment, with the tech industry here surpassing £180 billion in value as of June 2018.

Similar observations can be made of the creative industries – a sector that employs over three million people in businesses ranging from design studios to graphic design, advertising and marketing. This thriving community of businesses contributes more than £100 billion to the UK economy. To put this into perspective, this is the equivalent of £11.5 million every hour.
