SME Snapshot Report #2
The SME Snapshot Report 2026 published in March captured the experiences of over 250 SMEs, representing more than 10,000 employees and £1.91 billion in revenue. This edition, alongside our 2025 SME Snapshot Report, enabled trend analysis, showing how policy reforms and economic pressures are affecting SMEs over time.
For the first time, the research provided a clearer picture of how recent policy changes and economic conditions are impacting businesses on the ground.
