In this Insights In Focus episode, we discuss the obstacles and incentives to SME investment.
In recent years, a string of crises and ongoing economic uncertainty has dampened investment across the board. Office for National Statistics figures show that business investment remains lower than pre-pandemic levels and fell 0.2% in Q4 2022.
The March Budget attempted a shot in the arm by announcing three years’ capital expensing, but questions remain over whether SMEs can access the finance they need to make their investment plans a reality.
Host Philippa Lamb is joined by Simon Gray, ICAEW Head of Business, and executives from three tech-intensive SMEs: Adam Lauffer, Deputy CEO of Doddle; Tanuvi Ethunandan, CEO of Data Duopoly; and Ciaran Burke, COO of Swoop.
