Breakfast Business with Joe Lynam · What do small businesses need from budget 2026? · 7 Oct 2025 podcast

And VAT 9 brought in.

I'm not sure that that's going to be a good day for a small business.

So I hope there's more.

We've had a very turbulent couple of years.

We've had COVID into an energy crisis and we're still in a cost of business crisis.

I think this is getting forgotten.

It's not a sexy word anymore, the cost of business crisis.

It's there, it's real.

We've had a state where margins have just been eroded.

Well, we saw an increase in insolvency in the last year, up 32%.
