Opinion Research Business found that 56 percent of small business proprietors, that is, businesses with revenue of less than £1million, anticipate little or negative growth during 2008.
This is the fifth time in a row that the quarterly, small business confidence index has fallen.
87 percent of small-business owners expect business and economic conditions not to improve during the next year.
74 percent think it will be more difficult to succeed and only 15 percent think that this is a good time to be the proprietor of a UK small business.
These are trying times for UK small businesses, which have less financial reserves that their larger competitors.
Our UK Business Directory is helpful in these stressful times for small businesses, since we produce qualified prospects for over 1.6 million UK businesses, most of which are small, at no cost to those businesses.
