Small Business Cost Crunch Survey

PR Campaign
Friday 11th September, 2026

Enterprise Nation, Square and EDF Business surveyed 526 UK small businesses to show how rising VAT, wages, National Insurance and energy costs are delaying growth. The data-led report turned a familiar economic concern into a news hook, combining striking statistics, owner testimony and policy recommendations.

Why it worked: A timely, numbers-first survey tied to Budget decisions quantified pain (69% delaying growth) and offered concrete policy fixes plus vivid founder quotes.

The lesson: Consider fielding a quick, credible survey that quantifies an urgent policy moment, then pair headline stats with one punchy human case study.
