BUSINESS OWNERS HAPPY TO REMAIN IN CHARGE

Aviva’s 2014 SME Pulse report has found that only 4% of small business owners would return to the workforce as an employee, compared to 25% in 2012. Two fifths of owners (41%) say they have a good work-life balance and just one in ten says running a small business has had a negative impact on family and friends. The report also found that over 60% of entrepreneurs turn to family and friends if they have a problem. After family and friends, SME owners look towards to the internet and other business owners.
