There didn’t have to be a Recession


If the Office for National Statistics had used a wider measure of growth to measure their statistics then there would not have been a recession.

The GDP was at its peak in 2008 and since such time has dropped by 4%, however employment figures are still as high as they were before the financial crisis.

A senior economist at Goldman Sachs has stated that there has been no double dip recession, although he will admit that UK growth has been slow over the last year.  However, Ernst & Young have been linked to saying that within the second half of the year the high street will be making a come-back.

If your business is going through a hard time financially with the recession hitting funds dramatically then speak to Beer & Young about investment options available for you.

Small Firms Are Essential For the Stability/ Rise in the Job Market


A  recent report produced by the Federation Of Small Businesses highlighted that small firms are essential in strengthening the economy and sorting out levels of unemployment. SME’s give jobs to aproximately 1.3 million disadvantaged and unemployed inividuals whereas large firms with more than 250 employess will only take on approximately £130,000.

Students, disabled people and those who have been sick long term are more likely to be offered work by a small business. 95% of this group that find a job in the private sector  will work for an SME or start up company. 88% of actively job seeking unemployed people will also find work in one of the aformentioned type of companies too.

However the market is still volatile, costs are rising and demand is falling so company finances for many are stretched to the limits. Beer & Young have many investors who understand the importance in SME’s and soley invest in them. Don’t wait until it’s too late call today.
