At the end of the year most of us start to reflect on where our lives are going, should we be doing something different, will it improve etc. So it’s no surprise that the pastime that takes most of our time (our job) is a major factor when contemplating the future. According to the Federation of Small Businesses, in 2021 there were estimated to be 5.6 million UK private sector businesses – 1.4 million of these businesses had employees, a whopping 4.2 million had no employees!
