New research suggests UK SMEs could see a £2.4 trillion investment boom over the next two years if funding challenges are overcome. Despite 65% of SMEs wanting to invest at least £100,000 in their businesses, lack of credit and government investment incentives remain significant barriers. 17% of SMEs lack confidence in pursuing investment goals due to stricter lending criteria and cautious mainstream banks. The upcoming General Election has SME leaders hoping for supportive policies to unlock growth potential. With 5.5 million SMEs contributing 53% of the private sector turnover, improved support could significantly boost the UK economy. What do you think? https://lnkd.in/eUBYtC-c

If all countries are in debt today or most anyway, who did they take the capital from? A very pertinent question today but very very easy to answer. They took it from the earth. In simple economics it's time to pay back. That's the heart of sustainability, but like a loan we can't pay back, every emi increases our credit limit, similarly what we can start paying back to earth today allows future generations to draw more. Our future generations. So like you do when you buy a five room villa or a one bedroom apartment, pay your dues on time by managing your environmental footprint, and sustain the future.

🌍🌎🌏🌍🌎🌏🌍🌎🌏🌍🌎🌏 Why Britain is Poised to Avoid Becoming a Third World Country – And What It Means for Property Investors In recent times, concerns have grown about the UK’s economic direction, but history shows that Britain has always bounced back, driven by resilience, innovation, and strategic investments. Let’s explore why the country will continue to thrive and why now may be the right time for property investors to stay the course. 1. The Power of Innovation: Winston Churchill once said, *“A pessimist sees the difficulty in every opportunity; an optimist sees the opportunity in every difficulty.”* Britain has a long history of innovation and adaptability. From the industrial revolution to leading in fintech today, we’re at the forefront of technological progress, which will inevitably boost economic growth. These advancements translate into opportunities for strategic real estate investments in technology-driven regions. 2. Infrastructure Investment:** “The road to success is always under construction.” – Arnold Palmer. The UK government has already laid out significant infrastructure investments, including high-speed rail, renewable energy projects, and housing development schemes. These initiatives will modernize the country, driving up demand for housing in well-connected areas. Property investors should be watching closely as these infrastructure projects increase the value of nearby developments. 3. Financial Services Backbone: As Margaret Thatcher said, “You and I come by road or rail, but economists travel on infrastructure.”* Britain’s financial services sector remains a global leader, even post-Brexit. As the world’s financial ecosystem continues to evolve, London and other key cities will remain pivotal in international finance, ensuring the continued demand for prime real estate. 4. A Global Hub for Higher Education: “An investment in knowledge pays the best interest.– Benjamin Franklin. With prestigious universities and research institutions, the UK attracts global talent. This not only fuels innovation but also creates demand for residential and commercial property in university towns and cities, offering lucrative opportunities for investors. What This Means for Property Investors: While challenges remain, the UK’s long-term outlook is one of growth. Investing in the right locations, particularly in regions benefiting from government infrastructure spending and technological hubs, can be a smart move in this transitional phase. The UK is not on a downward spiral—it's simply at a turning point, and those who can see the potential for growth will be well-positioned to reap the benefits in the property market.

According to the findings, 51% expressed apprehension over the potential change of government, while 50% cited political uncertainty as a major concern. Neil Rudge, head of enterprise at Shawbrook, commented: “By July 5th, we will have a definitive outcome that will shape the direction of our government for the next four years."

Is the UK still a good place to do business? The new Labour government are clearly setting an agenda to target anyone in the UK on higher incomes (£50k+) or anyone with investments or assets. Whilst some people may think this is a good idea, the truth is, it disincentives investing, risk-taking, entrepreneurship and climbing the corporate ladder, as the reward isn't there. In turn, this will lead to a weaker economy and people's standard of living will drop over the longer term. With the world being more accessible than ever, it's never been easier for those with Wealth or higher incomes to move aboard.

In developing countries, where rising public debt, fiscal deficits and widening social inequalities weigh heavily on governments, the private sector emerges as a beacon of hope. Picture this: innovative firms sprouting up, introducing new technologies and driving productivity. These companies create jobs that not only boost incomes but also empower individuals and lift entire communities out of poverty. Consumers benefit too. Suddenly, there are better goods and services available at affordable prices, offering real choices especially to the poor. The ripple effect is substantial: higher tax revenues from thriving businesses allow governments to fund essential services, reduce unemployment, and foster economic growth. But the story gets even more compelling with Multilateral Development Banks (MDBs) playing a crucial role. These institutions step in with financial support and technical expertise, bridging the gap between public needs and private capabilities. MDBs help de-risk sustainable projects, making them feasible for private companies to undertake. They also foster partnerships that ensure the benefits of private sector growth are widely shared. In this vibrant ecosystem, the private sector and MDBs work hand in hand, creating a resilient and inclusive economy. Businesses thrive, communities prosper, and sustainable development goals move closer to reality. It’s a powerful partnership, driving transformative change and building a brighter future for all. #SustainableDevelopment #PrivateSectorDevelopment
