which small business accounts for 99 percent of the total private sectors organizations. Whereas,
96 percent out of total private sector organizations belongs to micro organization. Furthermore,
micro enterprises employees less than 10 members and small sized enterprises hires 250 people
to work in the organization (Daft, 2021). Currently as per the statistics there are 1040 firms per
10,000 persons as a result these large number of enterprise s aids in the development of the
economy of the United Kingdom. Moreover the development lead to great number of
employment opportunities for the residents. The increased employment ultimately boosts the
monthly disposable income of the individuals which further, allows the growth of the national
economy effectively and efficiently. In the United Kingdom, however, there are 5.7 million
micro enterprises, with 95.72 percent of them being privately owned. Micro enterprises employ
around 9.1 million individuals. As a result, this form of business benefits the UK economy. Even
small businesses contribute significantly to the national economy. The company intends to
contribute on a local and national level by creating jobs and perhaps offering further support.
Small businesses are privately owned and operated firms with fewer employees and smaller
yearly income than larger organisations.
Presently, the small as well as micro business organizations contribute approximately 1.6
trillion in the national economy. However, total 55 percent of both the micro and small
organizations are closed in the period of five years. The reason behind the closure of the
organizations are they focus only on the local market instead of expanding the company. Also
the pandemic was one of the reason behind the closure. Whereas the statistics shows that 25
percent of the total micro and small organization are successful in expanding their business and
further facilitated their products and services internationally (Hernández-Linares and et. al.,
2021). The company which survived in the pandemic situation has an opportunity to expand their
business due to less competition in the market. As a result, the expansion may create more
employment opportunities within the nation in the upcoming years. The huge job opportunity is
the outcome of the micro and small organizations contribution in the economy. Approximately
60 percent of job opportunities are devised by the private sector organizations out of which 37
percent are generated by the small and micro enterprises in the UK.

Significance of Small Businesses and Start-ups towards of the Social Economy
The entrepreneurship such as social that primarily employs approaches through different
start-up enterprises as well as other entrepreneurs in order to implement and provide effective
measures for social and environmental challenges. On the other hand, the social entrepreneurship
includes other types of the companies such as non- profit organizations, charity base companies,
cooperatives and so forth. There are more than hundred start-ups and small businesses which
opens in every month leading to the effectiveness in the social economy. However, start-ups
enterprises encounter various challenges in getting their company off ground due to lack of
initial revenue and further, small business require little revenue to initiate in order to thrive in the
social economy. As a result, small business contribute more to the development of country’s
economy by creating job possibilities and other opportunities.
Furthermore, it minimizes the rate of crimes by involving young people in the enterprise and
providing them revenue as their source for living. Presently, more than two million individuals
are engaged in the organizations belonging to the social economy and therefore, contributes
significantly towards the economic development. However, only few private organizations
belongs to large organizations. Even though they contribute large part towards the economy by
generating 40 percent of employment opportunities from the total employment and thus, leads to
high rate of turnover (Pham and et. al., 2021). On the other hand, the small organizations
provides 48 percent of employment opportunities out of total employment with lowest turnover
rate of 33 percent. Whereas, medium sized organizations creates 12 percent of employment
possibilities accompanied by 14 percent of turnover rate. This shows that the small enterprises
contribute more towards the national economy as compared to other large organizations.
