Setting up and running a business can be a daunting prospect, and it is a lot of hard work. But it is also one of the most rewarding things that you can do and can be one of the most positive changes someone can make for themselves and the community they live in.
In a society dominated by celebrity culture, celebrity entrepreneurs have emerged as inspirational figures. But we at the FSB believe that anyone who has a good idea and takes a risk to put it into practice and grow a business is an entrepreneur. The vast majority will never be celebrities, but they still enrich the lives of themselves and those around them.
These are the people that we champion – the Real Life Entrepreneurs.
And with economic growth having stalled and the Government looking to the private sector to put the economy back onto firm ground, we believe that it is now time that the UK's 4.8 million Real-Life Entrepreneurs™ step forward.
The FSB represents Real-Life Entrepreneurs across every sector of the economy and every section of society. The FSB's Real-Life Entrepreneur manifesto sets out some of the measures that we can all take to remove the burdens small firms face setting up and growing their business.
