I recently researched and released this news story on behalf of Selectabase, which announced the fact that over the last few months the number of business start ups has leapt up.
Compared to the same period last year, the number of new businesses setting up shop in the UK grew by over 11% between June-August. Up till then, starts ups had been down compared to last year.
It's a really surprising trend, given the current economic turmoil. You'd be forgiven for wondering who on earth what want to be starting out and leaping into the cauldron of fire which is the small business sector (not estate agents, that's for sure - they were one of the types of business start ups to be DOWN on last year).
But then I heard recently that teaching recruitment had increased, often amongst city workers. In fact public sector recruitment could benefit in a number of areas - a senior police officer friend of mine told me some time ago his force had plenty of applications from mature candidates seeking a career change.
I also think the figures are reliable, because at a recent trade fair I attended on behalf of Jim Garrahy's Fudge Kitchen, another client of mine, we noticed lots of new coffee shops, farm, shops and deli's planning to launch in the next couple of months.
So good to luck to those bold entrepreneurs starting their business just now, and lets just hope their confidence is rewarded.
