employees in order to achieve their company goals and target effectively.

They both contributes equally in order to develop growth in an effective manner. In this present
world, there are lot of individuals who operates their business in the micro or small industries.

According to the above statistical data, it has been concluded that the employment
possibility in UK is maximising every year. According to the above graph, small and micro
business employees in the year of 2008 is 100. But after that it is enhancing at higher level in a
higher speed as shown in the above chart. As per this above data is showing scale form year
2008-2015. In 2015, the scale achieve to 140 which is larger than 2015. According to this way,
small and micro business or firms are heavily effecting economy in improvement and
5

development. Through this, the poverty level is reducing with the enhancing level of living
standard of people in attractive way (Bridge and O'Neill, 2012).
Now this can be said that according to the above analysation it has been concluded that both
micro or small business firms are very important for each an every organisation in order to make
stability in the growth of development. Therefore, there are benefit of micro or small business
firms, which is given below:
Adapting to changing climate: This is the important benefit in which small or micro business
of economy play a vital role as a customer oriented in an effective manner. They provide better
services to their customers in order to fulfil their demand and need in a appropriate way. Along
with this they do all efforts in order to make their customer's needs.
According to my personal opinion it can be said that small or micro businesses have very
wide impact on the economy in order to increase the development of the company in an effective
manner. On the other side according to the above graph it has been analysed that in 2008
employees from micro and small business was 100 only. But according to my analysation I
observed that after these circumstances the employment level has been increased at high level as
this also shown in the graph. Therefore, it has been concluded that small and micro business are
very much well for the people because in this employees can learn several things and also able to
enhance their working level effectively. So that the level of these businesses can also minimize
the level of poorness easily.

Social economy: It is developed by the diversity of firm and companies like mutuals,
cooperatives, foundations, associations, social companies and so on. It also share common
features and values such as social objectives and primacy of the individual effectively. These

huge amount of rate. This is because mainly business firms hire a employees which can work
together at low wages so that the production cost can be remain in low manner. For this both
firms small or micro firm hire employees from lower society and also those people who are
much not educated (Burns and Dewhurst, 2016). This will help them in order to make good work

Through this concept small or micro business firms can easily provide job opportunist for
every individual so that they can get highly motivated in a good way. As both firms giving jobs

make their future happy so that these firms are very necessary for making good future in this

improvements in their living standards and also gives some benefits to life style of them. This all
help these type of employees in getting opportunities, so that they can come equal to other
people of society (Jones, Coviello and Tang, 2011). That's why both term are significant for
making people educated or minded in this challenging world.
Turnover: It is important for all business start-up or small business this because it gives
