Started October 26, 2025

As the new Chancellor prepares her first major Budget, founders, investors, and business leaders across the UK are watching closely. After years of policy uncertainty, many are hoping for a clear signal that Britain is serious about growth, innovation, and investment. What one policy change would make the biggest positive difference for you — whether you’re a startup founder, small business owner, or part of a scale-up trying to compete globally? Would you prioritise simplifying the tax system, boosting access to capital, or reviving incentives for risk-taking? Or should the focus shift toward long-term industrial strategy, green growth, or reforming how the government itself buys from SMEs? Share your perspective — what specific move from Rachel Reeves would count as a “win” for business, innovation, and the UK economy?
