I want to thank the Federation of Small Businesses, your elected representatives and your members for working in partnership with us to get this right.
I want to see Britain’s small businesses succeed. Not just because that’s good for you or me – but because it is good for our country. I promise we will keep listening and working with you every step of the way.
All best wishes,
August 2025
