businesses were decreased by 6.5% when compared to 2020 that is 0.357 millions businesses (UK
Small Business Statistics, 2022).

This chart shows how the revenue of SME's has dropped because of Covid 19. If we take
industries like accommodation and food services, wholesale, education, health, science,
arts/entertainment/recreation, business consulting, administrative and support services &
Manufacturing have accounted for reduced revenue up to 30% when compared to 2019 revenue.
Around 30-50% revenue has been decreased of retail, construction, others, information and
communication, finance and insurance & property industries. While 50-70% revenue is decreased
of agriculture and logistics industries. This will affect the economy of the country as SME's are
bigger part of the economy.
This chart clearly shows that the employment level was increasing continuously till 2020 but

in 2021 it decreased. The reduction has several reasons where main is Covid-19 which impacted
various industries. In 2021 5337200 Micro sized industry was providing jobs to 0-9 employees and
35600 medium industries was providing jobs to 50-249 employees. While 210600 small industries
were providing jobs to 10-49 employees.
This chart shows that there are around 1551 large companies in the UK among them 19.8%
are family owned. Most of this family owned business are owned by UK families, this large
companies employ around 13 million people also generate ¼ of GDP. They are paying higher tax

of education in the rural areas and thus work towards the development of the local economy.
Likewise, with the setting up of the large number of enterprises in the UK also work towards the
