Championing UK small businesses since 2005.
Enterprise Nation is on a mission to create a more entrepreneurial Britain. We are the UK’s most active small business support platform, standing up for small firms that grow, for technology and AI that boost productivity, and for a community that never stops backing entrepreneurs.
To build a more entrepreneurial Britain.
What we stand for
Three convictions drive our work.
These convictions shape the policies we push and the programmes we build.
Productive growth
5.7 million small businesses power the UK economy. Raise their productivity and Britain grows.
AI adoption for every small business
AI gives founders and high-street firms back time and money. Our job is to make sure the smallest businesses get that advantage.
An opportunity for every young person
Young people have the talent to start businesses. What many lack is confidence, skills and someone saying 'you can'. We back every young person to find all three.
What we’re calling for
Our policy priorities.
Alongside our three campaigns, we back small businesses to get the right finance, talent, markets and digital skills.
Access to Finance
Helping businesses invest and grow.
We campaign for faster payments, better access to funding, smarter tax incentives and financial products built for small business.
Access to Talent
Building the workforce every business needs.
We support policies that help businesses recruit, develop skills and create opportunities through apprenticeships and training.
Access to New Markets
Helping businesses find their next customer.
We champion policies that open new opportunities through public procurement, exporting, and vibrant high streets.
Access to Digital Skills
Making technology work for every business.
We want every small business to have the confidence, skills and support to adopt AI and digital tools.
