Entrepreneurial spirit is alive and well in the UK despite the recession with two-thirds of the population having ambitions to start their own business, according to a survey by the Association of Chartered Certified Accountants (ACCA).
The survey suggests that 60% of Brits would like to be their own boss and that the entrepreneurial spirit is even stronger amongst 25-34 year olds, with three-quarters aspiring to one day run their own company.
The survey of 2,000 adults from across the UK also revealed that despite the trend for multi-nationals and larger enterprises, people still believe that small businesses have an important role to play in those communities. 96% of those surveyed believe that small businesses remain vital to their towns and cities.
"Small businesses are the lifeblood of the UK economy and it is wonderful to see that people have such a high regard for the role SMEs play within the community," said Glenn Collins of ACCA.
