Enterprise Nation

Guests at the Enterprise Nation Conference received a special treat at coffee time; a hot-off-the-press copy of the 2009 Home Business Report. It’s filled with facts and figures, case studies and a call to action so home business can flourish yet further.

This Report is now in its third year. With thanks to BT for being our principal sponsor. Thanks to Professor Colin Mason of the Hunter Centre for Entrepreneurship and infoUK for their key contributions and to Business Link in London.

• Over 60% of small businesses started in the UK are started at home
• 89% of home businesses expect to increase turnover in the next 12 months
• The majority of businesses will grow by outsourcing and sub-contracting, as opposed to taking on staff
• 'Working 5 to 9' is on the rise as people hold down a day job and build a business at nights and weekends
