Why Running a Business in the UK Has Never Been Harder (And What's Coming Next)

from Being a Business Owner · host Alexis Charkiw

Nobody's talking about this enough. So I am. Every UK business owner is feeling right now, whether they want to admit it or not. It's hard out there. Really hard. And it's not just me saying it. I've been in the rooms with some of the most respected voices in UK accountancy and tax, and even they're saying it. In this episode I'm breaking down exactly what's going on in the UK business landscape right now, why it feels so stifling, and why AI is adding a whole new layer of uncertainty on top of it all. I'm sharing: The tax changes hitting UK employers hardest right now. Why the cost of living crisis and rising business costs are creating a perfect storm. My honest, love-hate relationship with AI and why it excites and terrifies me in equal measure. Why being agile and staying curious might be the most important business skills you can have right now. Because understanding why things are hard makes them a little easier to navigate. And if you've been feeling the pressure lately you're not imagining it, and you're definitely not alone.   Let's Connect: Website LinkedIn Instagram TikTok Be sure to check out: Ways to work with me Right Click Accounting Blackline Academy
