💖 From Startups Magazine to you, some inspiration and motivation to start your week off right💖

Articles to start the week off with...

⚡️Why British startups are failing – and what we can do about it - Whilst the UK prides itself on being a hub for entrepreneurship and innovation, a striking number of new business startups are failing. With improved accessibility to modern technology, flexible working models, and workforce, it’s never been “easier” to start a business. And yet, the failure rate tells a different story. Nearly 20% of new UK businesses collapse within their first year, and 60% fail within three.

⚡️The cavalry isn’t coming: what smart small businesses are doing now - The past year has seen small businesses and entrepreneurs face a storm of economic pressures. From rising salaries to skyrocketing energy costs, SMBs are facing a major squeeze. Our recent survey revealed that half of small business owners are concerned that one more major cost increase could force them to close their doors.

⚡️Startups need to be more aware of why insurance claims are being rejected - Like any business, startups are vulnerable to theft. Whether it’s financial fraud, cybercrime, intellectual property (IP), or physical goods. But while recent data shows a sharp rise in theft-related insurance claims, with tool theft claims alone increasing by 54%, many businesses, including startups, aren’t seeing payouts.
